Power Flushing Terms
Powerflushing a system
prior to any work being carried out on a central heating system is now a requirement set out by any boiler manufacturer, this
is a process where water and chemicals are pumped through your pipework at a very high velocity and this will have the effect
of removing any flux residue and also the iron oxide (Black Sludge) that is prevalent in every central heating system. This
process will help to eliminate any radiator cold spots and will also dispose of any residue that could potentially damage
your new boiler and invalidate the guarantee. This process alone will not rectify faults that occur through having a badly
designed system (Pumping over etc). If you have an open vented system with a header tank in the loft then this process has
the potential to show up any weak points in your system and could result in leaks occurring from old pipes and/or radiators
that are either rusted or badly fitted. * Please note the Powerflushing process has
not caused this damage but it has simply accelerated any problems and leaks that may occur in the future, and this could
be while you are absent from the house possibly on a holiday. It is in our experience that if this is to happen it is better
that a qualified heating engineer is present to rectify these problems if/when they occur.
All manufacturers insist
that a system is flushed before a new boiler is installed and failing to do so could render their warranty period void.
Acceptance of a Power Flushing Quote from AMR Plumbing & Heating Ltd is also deemed as acceptance of
these terms and conditions.
