we have been coming across a few badly installed central

What is power flushing ?
Power flushing is
the most efficient and effective method of cleansing a
central heating system. The principle is to create a powerful
fresh water flow under controlled conditions to remove
debris from the heating system. By connecting the power
flushing unit to the heating circuit in place of the system
pump, boiler or radiator the circuit can be thoroughly
cleansed of limescale and corrosion debris. When used
in conjunction with a power flush acid cleanser a typical
power flush can be completed within 3-4 hours.
and treating of central heating systems
All new systems
should be pre-commission cleansed in accordance with BS:7593
and Benchmark. This ensures flux residues, excess
jointing compounds, mineral oil and other contaminants
that can be found in the system following installation,
and that can effect the performance of the system or cause
component failure, are removed. It is important when installing
new boilers into old systems that all the sludge is first
removed from the system or this could accumulate in the
new boiler and lead to premature failure.
