What is a powerflush?


Powerflushing is a process by which heating systems are cleansed using water at high velocity, but low pressure, so that no physical damage is caused to the system. The process is made even more effective with the addition of powerful cleansing chemicals.

 

The objective is to restore systems with circulation and boiler noise problems (caused by sludge and corrosion deposits) to optimum operation. Power flushing removes these deposits and the problems that they cause.

 

Power flushing is also an excellent way to pre-commission new heating systems, to remove excess flux, swarf and other debris, and the grease and oil used to prevent the rusting of components before use.

Advice for when a new boiler is installed


It is essential when fitting a new boiler to an existing heating system to powerflush to prevent future problems. Many systems are found to contain corrosion and sludge, even if no flow problems have yet shown themselves.

 

Existing debris is often mobilised by alterations to the system/piping and the increased efficiency of the new boiler, and may then accumulate in the boiler heat exchanger, causing noisy operation, reduced efficiency and, in extreme circumstances, failure of the boiler (usually resulting in the manufacturer’s warranty being invalidated).

The benefits of a magnetic filter

Magnetic filters, or boiler filters, are fitted to your boiler’s pipework, extracting any debris from the water flowing through the pipes so that there isn’t a build-up which can restrict the flow of water.

 

Fitting a magnetic filter to your boiler could bring many benefits to your home:

 

More efficient heating system
Lower energy bills
Reduced carbon footprint
Greatly reduced risk of needing expensive repairs
Longer boiler lifetime
Increased length of boiler warranty
