Power Flush

We have the latest Kamco powerflushing equipment and chemicals to perform this work. This is a very worthwhile maintenance task to perform if your system has not been regularly topped up with scale inhibitor (or you don’t have a water softener). You will know if your heating system has sludge & scale build up if one or more of the following is true:

Cold spots at bottom of radiators
Black water present when bleeding radiators
Boiler and/or heating pump making noises
System takes a long time to get to temperature

The Problem - Rust

Central Heating Systems corrode internally, when air is in the system, producing black iron oxide sludge deposits in radiators and other iron components. These particles stick to all surfaces, causing premature failure of pumps and valves, cold unbalanceable radiators, blocked boiler heat exchangers and hot water heating coils. Overall system efficiency is greatly reduced and fuel wasted.

The Solution and Long Term Protection - Power Flush

Connect Power flushing device and powerful magnet filter to central heating system pipe work by either removing the central heating pump or a radiator. Flush the whole system without removing any additional radiators.

Power flush machine set up so water flows from the radiators to Magnet filter, collecting all the iron oxide sludge, before reaching the boiler to minimise debris entering boiler heat exchanger.

Rust remover chemical (normally phosphoric acid based, an ingredient in Cola drinks and why a rusty coin is cleaned by Cola) is added and boiler turned on.

By concentrating flow through individual radiators and vibrating the radiators the rust spots and sludge deposits are removed.

One by one radiators, heating coils and all pipe work are power flushed with clean water until only clean water comes through.

Small amount of Neutraliser is added to compensate for residual chemical cleaner, then scale Inhibitor is added and circulated throughout the system.

The Power flush machine is removed and central heating system reinstated. Heating is turned on and the radiators are Balanced to optimise system efficiency.
