Summer Warning
During the summer months when the central heating is not used it is essential that you switch the heating on(on low) for an hour or so each week.
In doing this you could prevent any build up of sludge within the system solidifying and blocking pipes/radiators completly and also prevent the central heating pump from seizing!
The Power Flushing Process
1. on arrival a central heating water test is taken using the fernox water analysis kit to asses levels of corrosion, acidity and alkaline which cause all the problems in the system. See water analysis kit for detailed description.
Also a tds (total dissolved solids) reading is taken from your mains cold water and compared to the water in the heating system.
The water in the heating system should be within 10% of the reading from the mains cold water. Also a simple ph test is taken on both water samples.
2. Heating system is then fired up and an infa-red thermomter is used to test effiency of radiators throughout the property.
The infa-red thermomter will give an accurate reading of radiator temperature and indentfy where cold spots are and indentifying where the main problem in the heating system lies.
" We can then concentrate on shifting this problem "
3. Floor coverings are then laid throughout the property to ensure that all various floor surfaces are protected.
4. The fernox powerflow mark2 flushing pump is then connected to the system via the pump head.
In doing this the pump head gets removed and we can assess the pump to see if pump replacement is required.
5. The Fernox "flush buddy" is also attached so the power flush unit and can be seen to be cleaning the system.
The flush buddy is an excellent visual aid in the powerflush process as you will be able to see the sludge gathering on the magnets of the flush buddy caused by corrosion of the system, the flush buddy is removed and cleaned at intervals to ensure no sludge recirculates into the system.
6. A radiator hammer tool is also used to loosen stubborn sludge,which has been lying in radiators blocking correct circulation of system flow.
If the reading shows that the system water is of near quality (within 10% reading on tds meter) to the cold mains water then a system inhibitor (protector) is added.
If the system water is not upto quality then the process is repeated until it meets upto required standard.
10. On leaving a certificate is issued with all information and test results gained throughout the power flush.
7. The system is then flushed out to rid all dirty water from system and replaced with clean.
You will be able to see the dirty water leaving the system. All fouled water is routed into appropriate drainage.
Then a cleansing agent is added to the system via the powerflow pump and the cleansing of the system commences.
The boiler will be fired up to add to the cleaning process as the hot water reacts better with the cleansing agent to perform a more in depth cleanse.
In some cases this is not possible, but performing the flushing process a little longer will still fully cleanse the system.
8. During the cleansing process we concentrate on one radiator at a time to maximise the flow of the flush on that radiator, therefore ensuring each radiator will be restored to maxium working efficiency.
9. On completion of the cleansing process another reading of the system water is taken and compared to the cold mains water, as well as another set of infa-red thermometer reading per radiator.
