Powerflush
Water in central heating system is contaminated with rust, sludge and other debris because of internal corrosion. This corrosion products are causing circulation and boiler noise problems, premature failures of heating system components and reducing system efficiency (increasing your fuel bills). System needs to be flushed and cleaned and the best solution is powerflush.
Power flush is the fastest and most effective way to flush heating system.
How does it work?
The Clearflow CF90 Quantum power flushing pump is simply connected into the heating system, either across standard circulator pump couplings, across the tails of one radiator, or wherever most practicable.
The powerful flow, combined with instantaneous flow reverser device, will dislodge and mobilise deposits and corrosion which resist traditional system cleaning methods.
Once the corrosion and sludge deposits have been loosened and mobilised, fresh clean water is forced through the heating system, pushing the contaminated water out through a full bore dump valve to waste. During the process, radiators are individually flushed, without removing or disconnecting them from the system, by directing the full output of the pump through each radiator separately.
At the end of the flushing process, the system contains fresh clean water, scale and corrosion inhibitor is added giving long term protection to heating system. Reinstatement of the system to normal operation takes only a few minutes.
Boiler descale
When hard water is heated, calcium and magnesium contained in the water can build up a limescale in the central heating system, especially in boiler's heat exchanger. This creates an insulating layer, reducing heat transfer to the water and reducing efficiency of the boiler.
A 1 mm layer of limescale will cause a 7% increase in energy input to the boiler to meet the same heat demand, so more gas is burned and fuel bills are much higher.
Limescale can also restrict or block water passageway in the central heating system (especially in boiler heat exchanger) affecting water flow rate and reducing water temperature.
WE can solve the problem by using powerflush pump and descaling chemicals which dissolve limscale leaving your system completely clean.
Central Heating and Boilers
- installation, service, repair -
Symptoms
- The boiler or pump is noisy
- Combi boiler blocked heat exchanger, hot water demand - boiler fires up than goes off
- Reduced hot water temperature
- Boiler overheats or shuts off when hot water is needed
- The radiators have cold spots or not working
- It takes ages for the system to warm up
- Radiators need regular bleeding of accumulated air
- Evidence of sludge and rust in the system
- Pump failures

Corrosion inside circulatory pump causing pump failures and circulation problems.
Rust reduced the diverter valve diameter from 22mm to around 7mm severely reducing circulation.
Inside the internal boiler component, dirt and rust causing boiler breakdowns.
