Power Flushing

 

A power flush cleans a central heating system by removing sludge, scale and debris that builds up in a system naturally over time.

So how do you know if a system needs a power flush? 

Here are some symptoms to look out for;

  • Are certain rooms much colder than others?

  • Does it take a long time for system to warm up?

  • Are one or more radiators cold at the bottom?

  • Do radiators need frequent bleeding?

  • Is the boiler excessively noisy?

Cleaning a central heating system is integral to its health and power flushing is a popular cleaning method due to the rapid but comprehensive clean it delivers. The benefits of a clean heating system are well-documented:

Radiators that heat up properly with no more cold spots

  • Faster heat up times - use your boiler less for more heat

  • Anti corrosion protection for your entire system

  • Less break downs and increased system reliability

  • Improved overall energy savings and lower household bills

  • Extended life spans for your boiler and radiators

RADIATOR BEFORE A POWERFLUSH

A Power flush is the most effective way of fully cleaning a central heating system. It provides enormous benefit to the efficiency of a system that's full of sludge.

A very powerful pump will be connected to your central heating system. This will pump water round at high velocity, combined with instantaneous flow reversal and mild non aggressive chemicals, dislodges the sludge and corrosion deposits that is making your central heating inefficient. Attached to the pump is a hugely powerful magnet, this grabs the sludge (metal deposits) as they pass by.

Chemicals are added to aide in this process, this is then pumped through all the radiators individually to give the best possible results.

Having loosened the debris, the pump expels it from the system again and again until clear.
