Central heating Power Flush.

POWER FLUSH makes your central heating HOT again!!! What is a power flush? Why does my central heating system need a power flush? (Video content) Theme A power flush is a cleaning procedure carried out by a professional that is trained and experienced. A power flush of your central heating cleans the central heating water, the pipes, pumps, radiator and its valves and the boiler itself. Everything the central heating water runs through. All Heating systems have sludge deposits and suffer with a phenomenon known as magnetite which is born from the chemical reactions within the heating system. Corrosion will take place when air gets into the system. Unfortunately when water, oxygen and metal mix, a chemical reaction happens, this is when Magnetite (FE3O4), one of several iron oxides and is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on earth is formed. In order to slow down this process at which corrosion takes place an inhibitor should be added to the heating system water via your radiators or your header tank usually kept in the loft Some people call the magnetite sludge or iron oxide while others will call it ferrous material, it is a black or brown like substance that forms within the pipes and radiators of a heating system, and it is one of the main culprits for many heating system problems. Symptoms of magnetite build up are cold radiators or cold spots. Less overall heat output and even pump or boiler noise Magnetite is just one of the materials that build up over time that can cause your heating system problems. Other debris such as non- ferrous lime scale, casting sand, welding debris, paint particles and other undesirable materials cause the same problems and can range from very large to smaller than a micron. It is the tiny, tiny microns that cause havoc with the heat exchanger and other components of the heating system specifically newer, modern boilers as they are more compact with smaller components. Sludge (magnetite) and lime scale, if left untreated, will reduce the performance of your boiler by up to 15%, they could severely cripple the boiler, reduce the life expectancy of the boiler, drastically or cause a major malfunction and hefty a repair bill or worse-case scenario, a new boiler. Over a period of time this sludge can block pipes and prevent the radiators from distributing heat around your house. Sludge can also seriously affect the efficiency of your central heating system; it will lead to higher fuel bills and can bring forward the time when you need to replace some or all of the system. The solution, remove sludge and scale by power flushing your central heating system.
