There is a tendency for internal sediment to build up within older heating systems. You will need to flush the heating system to remove this sediment build up and help to restore normal heating efficiency.
A power-flush is an efficient way of removing this contamination and dirt that build up inside your central heating system over time.
Any system can develop this contaminants problem over time, the main influence is the passage of time and hence the older your system the more likely it is to have this problem. You do not want to replace and update your heating boiler with the latest model without commissioning a power-flush first. As the sludge and general dirt are disturbed in the new installation it will find its way into your new heating boiler and reduce its effectiveness and life span.
If your system suffers from internal contaminants you should also consider adding corrosion inhibitor.
powerflushing your system can also help with some of the other issues it can experience as outlined below : -
* some radiators suffering from colder patches
* heating boiler sediment
* sediment build up in the central heating pump
* pipe blockages
* gradual corrosion of the pipework
* central heating system blockages
* knocks and bangs emanating from the heating system
As a result the benefits of a professionally delivered power-flush could be :-
* helping your water pump to last longer as it handles clean water
* curing central heating radiator cold spots so that the full surface of the radiator heats your room
* increased overall system efficiency reducing heating charges
* clearing the gas boiler heat exchanger to stop banging noises and prolonging the gas boiler life
* decrease in the gas creation reducing corrosion and improving heat transmission
* clearing your gas boiler and central heating system of contaminated water which could lead to boiler and system corrosion
The powerflush is conducted by use of a power flush machine. It is connected to your central heating system and the central heating water is routed through the machine where it filters out the contaminants. The cleaning process is completed by the cleansed water being flushed through your gas fired boiler and central heating system. A corrosion inhibitor is also added to the system the end of the process.
A powerflush need to be executed by trained gas engineers and there will be no mess or complications.
