Why would an older boiler need a power-flush







Why would an older boiler need a power-flush

As your gas boiler and system ages deposits evolves within the pipework. You will need to flush the central heating system to remove this sludge 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 heating system over time.

Irregardless on the type of central heating system you have it can be subject to this problem, the passage of time rather than central heating system design is the main influence. You do not want to replace and update your gas fired 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 gas fired boiler and reduce its effectiveness and life span.

It is beneficial to add corrosion inhibitors to your heating boiler and system to slow this build up of deposits .

The following are some of the problems that could be avoided with a power flush as it removes the sediment from your central heating system : -

* colder spots on your central heating radiators
* gas boiler deposits accumulation
* central heating pump circulation problems
* clogging pipework
* gradual corrosion of the pipework
* reduced water circulation through blockages

Addressing these issues mean that you can get the following advantages from a powerflush :-

* radiator heating efficiency improvements as colder areas are eliminated
* enhanced heating efficiency resulting in reduced heating costs
* enhanced heating exchanger operation and extended heating boiler life
* cuts hydrogen gas build up which can lead to radiator corrosion and reduced heat output

A powerflush machine is used to complete the task. The contaminants are extracted from the heating system water as it is rooted through the machine. The cleaning process is completed by the cleansed water being flushed through your system. As the process is finished the heating engineer will normally add a corrosion inhibitor to the heating boiler and central heating system.

To ensure that you get the required benefits the power flush should be finished by a trained heating engineer.
