POWER FLUSHING

Power flushing allows for the hard flushing of a central heating system with minimal dismantling. Flushing the system loosens corrosion deposits and sludge which is then removed from the system leaving pipes and radiators clear and free for good circulation.

SLUDGE - Cause - Effect

Sludge is a 'mud' resulting from the reaction between the water in your system and the steel in the radiators which can build up over a period of time and cause circulation and flow problems.

good circulation


 
Reduced circulation
due to air


Cold area
due to sludge 

The following are some symptoms to watch out for which may indicate your central heating system may have a sludge problem:

- Some radiators are completely or partially cold
- Radiators need frequent bleeding
- Repeated pump failures/corrosion deposits in pump casing
- Strange and unpleasant noises from the boiler.

In order to conform to the requirements of the Building Regulations and BS7593, Abacus Gas power flushes all central heating systems where a boiler has been renewed in accordance with The Domestic Water Treatment Association Code of Practice for Chemical Cleaning and Treatment of Domestic Hot Water Central Heating Systems.  (opens new window)

From time to time, your central heating system may require bleeding or re-pressurising.
