What is a power flush?
A power flush is a cleaning procedure carried out by a professional that is trained and experienced; A power flush of your central heating cleans the central heating water, the pipes, pump, radiators and the boiler.
Everything that the central heating water runs through. There is only one modern procedure worth having done.
This is by connecting power flush machine to the system's circulating pump or a radiator and circulating the central heating water at high flow rates for hours and replacing dirty water with clean water.
Using a combination of chemicals and magnets to aid in the cleaning, once clean you add a chemical called an “inhibitor” that stays in the system and prevents the re-forming of sludge.
Benefits of having a power flush done:
-Increased efficiency:
The more sludge gets removed the move of an improvement in efficiency you will have.
-System reliability:
Clean systems break down less as no sludge means no blockages and less wear & tear on the parts that make up the system.
-Increased system life:
Boilers, pumps, radiator valves and radiators last much longer if your system is clean and have the correct levels of inhibitor.
-Leaks and leak damage:
Low levels of inhibitor in the system cause the radiators to rust and eventually start leaking. Causing flood damage and a repair bill.
-Savings:
You will save money from not having breakdowns and the increase in efficiency.
What is the standard power flushing procedure?
- Sludge remover (a chemical) gets used to loosen up sludge.
- Each radiator gets flushed in turn with the other radiators turned off.
