Whats peoples views on using Magnacleans device ?
most people untill they use a powerflush machine correctly tend to believe that a chemical clean with mains water is just as good. Most change there mind very quickly tho......
i drained a heating system recently which run clear on a chemical flush, i still got a number of kg's of black sludge off my magnetic filter attached to my powerflush machine, that was just what the filter caught the rest went down the drain.
I used a power flush machine as the cost of hiring one was low enough that there was not a good reason to do otherwise.
However at the end of the day if a little black sludge is left that is well stack to a radiator and is not blocking the radiator, then removing it does not have that much benefit.
I can’t think of a case when it would be a good option to have a new boiler installed these days without putting a filter on the system. Therefore I think a “main flush” that runs clear after having the chemicals in the system for a long time is good enough.

very true, how many people have fitted filters because they are unsure the system has been cleaned well enough rather than as a precautionary measure for future corrosion problems.
Any one would like help over the phone on how to use the power flush pump, flush the system with main water, or looking for some one experienced with very reasonable prices ( London and surrounding only) please get in touch.

Give me a bell - I might be able to help. 07592 107251, Ian.
Having been refused BG cover on CH system due to excessive iron oxide sludge, we were told £680 to get a powerflush by BG which we got told was a lifetime guaranteed one.
Hubby who is not a plumber, but has done various re plumbing on our system over the years and according to the gas engineer that we had out, had done an excellent job, has found that you can hire one of these flushers and operate this yourself.
So our big question is - does anyone on here have an idiots guide to operating one of these things if we go and hire one for a weekend? Or would it be better to try a chemical flush first? Money is very tight at the moment, so we need cheapest reliable method. Ideally I wish I could afford to have a magnaclean thing fitted.
Any help would be appreciated.
I think he was offering, not asking.
