powerflushing machines

[plumber86]

hi I am new to this site and thought id put a post up. This may have been asked hundreds of time but to be honest I haven't searched to see. I am looking to buy my self a power flush machine the companies I have worked for before used a kamco so have only used that. I know there are a lot of brands out there on the market anton, fernox, etc. what machines would people recommend I have a feeling m ost people would say kamco but would like to if there are better machines or machine just as good.

I am also looking for potentially buying one, but I am hoping to hiring one for a couple of jobs first and find out more.

hire a norstrum and youll be pleased.

I've been pleased with my norstrom and would have another in a heartbeat.

I sure the kamco cf90 would be equally good.

I am hiring a Anton machine for a job on Thursday is norstrum and Anton same machine different badge ?

 

[BLOD]

My votes for Norstrom as well

 

[plumber86]

ok what model would you recommend is the junior plus a good machine?

 

[Roger Welton]

Iirc the Anton machine flow rates are well down on the full fat Norstrom it may possibly be the same as one of their smaller units though.

 

[Roger Welton]

ok what model would you recommend is the junior plus a good machine?

You want the large unit power flushing is all about getting good flow rates so starting with a larger pump puts you ahead straight away

 

[plumber86]

yeah very true. will have get some prices from them will definitely order the kamco combimag in the next day or so

i bought the norstrom pro lush last month. wow it is a beautiful machine. quiet, smooth running and so easy to use. much prefer the camlocks to threaded hoses. and it has a 3 yr warranty

 

[plumber86]

ok what sort of flow has the pro got also what sort of price is it.? so take it no one likes the fernox machine then ?

 

[mutley racers]

90litres a minute at 1.6bar and £1070

 

[plumber86]

ok so it has the same flow rate as the kamco cf40 and is cheaper. the cf90 is looking to have the best flow at 150lpm. which I am most tempted by

 

[Jimbob]

I've got a cf90, awesome bit of kit. Think they are the best ones to go for really.

hire a norstrum and youll be pleased.

I have the very same with the 2 powerfull magnets ! What a tool to have , will recommend it every time . Its expensive but you will make your money back after first 10 jobs you have done
