So I've just ordered an Anton Flowclean Plus - which the specs say has a much higher flow rate than others and only for £780 including a plate heat exchanger adapter and hose extension kit.
Anyway, my question is: what are the best chemicals to use? I've used fernox but it really froths up -...
Good afternoon!
This is my first post here, and looking at other threads it seems that you're a helpful, friendly bunch!
My house was built in 1976 and I have problems with the rubbish copper piping that was used in those days. Three years ago, there was a leak under the kitchen floor (over...
I've now had several quotes from company reps for my replacement boiler. All of the installers say that my system needs to be flushed prior to installation of the new boiler (chemical or power I'm not debating on the type of flush).
I've been told that if my boiler has a problem within the...
Hi all,
I am not a plumber, I just come here for advice and tips as a customer of professional plumbers.
I need to replace my power shower unit, but upon investigation it seems that my power shower was plumbed with the cold feed coming from the mains opposed to the cold water tank.
Am I right...
Hi Forum,
I had a quick question about a house I've recently moved into. It's around 15 years old and I've noticed that the radiators in the house are full of cold spots, rust and even a couple of pin hole leaks (i.e. probably not looked after very well). I'm going to systematically replace...

Tested not power to coil.
Tested coil lead, OK.
Tested photocell faulty replaced.
Still no power at coil.
Changed control box with newer 830.3 from a 830b still nothing.

Just seen someone advertising a power flush (max 10 rads) for £350 - 10% so £315. Seems a bit cheap to me.
I have never done a power flush so can't say if that is a decent price or not. What do you guys charge, is that a reasonable price to charge?
Just asking out of interest really
I went to a job (y-plan system) where all the stats, motorised valve & the 2 channel prog were dead. The wiring centre was dead too but the spur (where the wiring centre took its perm live) was live giving 235v. I had to leave without fixing it. Anyone had this before? Any advice on what I could...
We have a Vaillant EcoTech Pro 28 combi boiler and today our power was out for over an hour while I was at work (we were having work done).
I'm wondering if any of the settings on the Vaillant would need adjusted? I have the heating controlled via a wireless controller and it has come on as...
I'm about to buy this model,
can an anybody tell perhaps of experience if this machine is strong enough to flush easily up to 10 rads ?
Is the machine efficient enough ?
Would like like to know your opinion...
Hello
My Gainsborough PS1200 has given up the ghost so i'm on the look out for a replacement.
This may be a silly question but Do I need to call a plumber, a sparky or ..... both?
Cheers
I got a power flush booked in and they have a back boiler, they have no idea of the make or age or even if has ever been serviced.
is there anything I need to no about flushing them? Or just crack on as per normal?
I use a fernox powerflow with magnetic filter and usually f5
Evening lads, what's people's views on a adey magna cleanse? I use a fernox power flow and I rate the unit. Keep debating about getting a magnet filter to speed the process up.
i keep looking at the adey magna cleanse and I like the look of it but my issue is a power flush pumps a high velocity...
Ineeded a power flush and was getting some quotes. I found a website calledpulsepowerflush and did a bit of digging: They claim to be ECOTEC MARKETINGLIMITED they have several websites that claim to be this company. Firstly, Ifound that the company called ECOTEC MARKETING LIMITED was renamed to...
Hi, had my solid fuel Rayburn year ago, runs radiators and has Eco boiler in bedroom and another tank up in attic. Originally central heating was calor gas, I have kept this going so I can top up my radiators and in the summer when Rayburn off I switch over to the gas boiler for my hot water...
Evening lads I am relatively new to power flushing.
what are people's views of flushing boilers? I have only flushed boilers with cast heat exchangers through fear of damage.
