Flushing Pictures
We are
a small but well established plumbing and heating company
based in the Leeds area of West Yorkshire.
Just recently
we have been coming across a few badly installed central
heating systems that are corroding. This could possibly
be due to incorrect installation of the heating system
i.e. boiler & radiators.
If the
engineer installed your boiler quickly and did not carry
out a power flush (which can take up to
4hrs to complete and is usually missed out to save both
time and money) then he could be invalidating your
boiler warranty, therefore costing you more money at a
later date. This will also make the boiler less efficient
and cost more to run.
ASK YOURSELF:
Did the installer forget to fill in the boiler log book?
IF
SO:
There is a Possibly
that your boiler has not been installed to the manufacturers
recommendations. It may not have been registered with
The Gas Safe Register or Building Control and therefore
may not have been power flushed !.
Have you
had British Gas quoted you over £600.00
for a power flush.
Then
we could help you, give us a call today to discuss
your needs.
We
have the latest technology in power flushing using some
of the best chemicals and know how, we can quickly have
your system back up and in full working
order.
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.
The cleaning
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.
System
symptoms
Radiator water black with iron
oxide sludge
Heating system slow to warm
up
Cold spots in the middle of
the radiators
Combination boilers being unable
to deliver constant hot water at a stable temperature
Unpleasant boiler noises
Repeated pump failure
radiators need frequent bleeding
leaking radiators from pin holing
in the metal
Power
flushing will clean a central heating system internally
improving radiator performance and heat output.
