How to perform a power flush the right way



This is how to perform a proper power flush.

At the start of your power flush I suggest you take a small sample of mains water and test that with a TDS reader, you do this to check how clean you are able to get the water inside of the heating system. Next begin hooking up your power flushing pump up to the central heating system, after which you go to each radiator and open all of the valves fully. Then proceed on to putting the correct amount of chemicals in to the power flush and allow them to flush throughout the system for about 30 minutes, attempt to let them circulate at a temperature of around 50 degrees simply because the chemicals force through better when they are heated.

When you have finished this you'll then need to go around shutting all radiator valves besides one. Then you flush this radiator for about 15-20 min's swapping the direction of flow every so often to disrupt the most stubborn of blockages, as soon as the Fifteen To Twenty min's expires you then start dumping the dirty water out and substitute it with fresh new water then test that using the TDS reader to find out if its clean enough to move on and then when it is lock the water in that radiator. You need to repeat this process again and again for every radiator until they all are holding clean water.

After completing each radiator by itself you will go on to the final flush, so go around and open all of the radiators again and then start flushing again then dump all the dirty water away. When you've got the water clean and fresh based on the chemicals used you may have to use neutralizing crystals. To achieve this you need to put the crystals into the power flush pump and allow them to purge round the system for ten minutes or so, then test your PH level if that's ok put some inhibitor in.

That is the end of your power flush and all you must do is connect the heating system together again and fire the system up. Most of the time you'll have to go around to bleed the radiators this is to release trapped air. If some radiators continue to be cold after the boiler has been running for some time you may have to balance the system. To balance the system look for the radiators putting out a great deal of heat and turn them down and open the ones not getting warm its as easy as that.
