Quick question about new boiler installed

[Unregistered]

I hope someone can answer a question for me, I had a new combi boiler installation today, straight swap for the old one, the guy did a flush of the system using fernox 3 then added fernox f1. This is all from the info I have taken from the installation log. My question is he did it all in 3hrs, is it possible to do a system flush and install in this time? I am not a plumber or Rgi but I would have thought a flush would have taken alot longer alone

Thanks for any replys

Depending on the size of the system a powerflush will take the best part of a day , but a lot (me included ) use a system called a magna cleanse , they are a lot quicker . How many rads have you ?

There are 9 radiators and a adey Magna cleanse has been installed too

Thanks for replying

If its got a magnaclean filter he may have used the magnacleanse system , it connects onto the filter unions . If he did , yes its do- able in 3 hours , especialy if the system wasnt too " bungged" up in the first place .

3 hours! would like to see a photo of the install, just the one bloke? I'm not doing flushing but the bloke that does it for me doesn't hang about and 8 rads (magnacleanse) takes about 3 hours

Apart from the Magna clean and the new outflow pipe the rest of the pipework was already there

A few more hours on top the cupboard pipework could of been tidied up making a neater job.
