Couple of questions: (sorry if they're stupid)I've done a power flush on every boiler I've installed, the amount of muck I've pulled out of systems is unreal. The Kamco magnet works a treat.
I do the following:
Open vent system
Isolate cold water supply to f and e
Drain out f and e tank and cap the feed pipe and open vent
Set up power flush and connect to pump
Open all rad valves and with the pump set to dump I switch it on and the initial muck gets removed from system.
Set pump to recirculate and let it heat up, add chemical, either FX2 for cast iron heat exchanger or Sentinel X800
Let everything circulate and then close off all rads/hot water coil apart from one.
Flush that one rad until evenly hot all over and use a rubber mallet for persuasion if need be
Move on to each rad like this and then open coil to flush again
Then, start dumping and rinsing with fresh water only on just the pipes
Then go to each rad one by one and flush with clean water until water runs clear
Open whole system for final rinse
Add neutraliser if required and flush accordingly
Add inhibitor
Job done
Depending on size of house can take between 3-6 hours
I'm in West London, you?I run the boiler to warm system but have an immersion element to warm up if the boiler is dead
I do a rad at a time so floor by floor is sort of followed as i just do the rads one by one
The machine is dumping the water you add so you're not losing water from the system and yes I test PH and TDS
Where do you live, if your local I'll show you how i flush if you like?
Not far then, 11 miles only snag is, I work for a firm mon-fri.. Do you do work saturdays?Shepperton
That would be amazing!!! I don't want to cut into your family time though. I can always try take some time off work. Also, let me know if you want some dosh as I'm taking up your time which is money lost for youNot usually. More than happy to sort out a flush at my place one Saturday though to show you what I do. My system is sealed but will show you what needs doing anyway.
