How To Flush A Central Heating System
A power flush is a process carried out by central heating engineers designed to remove sludgy build-up in the boiler, pipes and radiators that make up your central heating system. A power flushing unit sends water through your central-heating system at high velocity to dislodge any build-up of sludge, rust and other debris.
Central Heating System Need Power Flushing
One or more of these symptoms could indicate that your central heating system would benefit from a powerflush:
- cold radiators with only a hot strip at the top
- black sludgy water in the heating system (shown by radiator removal or a failed heating pump or valve replacement)
- poor circulation to a system that used to work better
- a magnet attaching to copper pipe-work (signs of iron sludge within)
- an overflowing attic header tank (although this could also be caused by a pump being set at the wrong speed).
