help with powerflush quote

[mutley racers]

how do you take the connection from below the boiler when the boiler is there? Do you cut into pipes? If you leave the pump with the live in, and go back and fourth on the flow, then the flusher will be going against the flow of the pump. strange why they would say it is ok

 

[SafeGasInstall]

mate you never run boiler pump along with powerflush ........., you turn of pf and then use boiler pump to heat the water

or you will burn the pump

or you could remove pump and connect pf there

 

[mutley racers]

cheers safegas. It is confusing though as on kamco site it says not a problem to do this. But, can I not just disconnect the power to pump in boiler and run boiler on pf

 

[SafeGasInstall]

you can but then due to the fact that power flushes pump is a lot more powerful water will go through the he alot quicker and will take forever to heat up the water !

 

[mutley racers]

ok, cool. So really it is just best to purge of debris with pf, and cleanser through pf, close pf and turn on boiler and run until rads are hot, turn off boiler and use pf to finish off

 

[SafeGasInstall]

And flush one rad a time only ! Also isolate cylinder and remove auto bypass if there is one

 

[mutley racers]

Cylinder needs to be flushed. You mean, treat cylinder coil as an extra rad right? Can you manually set the diverter in a system boiler, or can i just use the controls

 

[mutley racers]

think i need to purchase one of those pump head adaptors. Will make life a lot easier

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Yes cylinder separated ! Integral diverted is only in viessmenn boilers ! With them I will cut in to the hot water side and will pf cylinder separated

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I got one of them adapters but never used it , you can have it if you like for half the price ! It has been sitting in my van tray for like 2 years now and never been used

 

[mutley racers]

why can you not just put the programmer on hot water and flush it like that. Just take the live out of the boiler pump? seems a bit drastic cutting into it. But if that is the only way.

Which pump head adaptor do you have? I see the fernox one is like £125. And others are £40-£50

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I will post picture of it tomorrow ! I got my e from Norstrom .... Cos I have one of there pf

 

[mutley racers]

that is the one i just bought, a norstrom proflush

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Well done you got the best

That's 15 minutes on the initial flush not the cleaning out process. Kamco recommend 15 minutes. 15 minutes on the initial then go round and clean each rad until it runs clear. (not misty) I need to invest in the TDS meter

Hi Jase158
i got the TDS and PH meters the same as Kamco sell for an absolute fraction of the price from Laboratory supplies, virkon disinfectant, infection control . I also have the CF 90 and I bought a 60litre high sided strong plastic tray for it to sit in as well to avoid costly carpet/flooring damage

 

[helpsy]

If connection is on flow/return at rad pipes they recommend taking out the rad valves as more resistance and no good this way for micro bore . Kamco pump head adaptor is £90. I've just ordered the magnetic filter to operate in series with the pump. £336

 

[mutley racers]

Hey safegasinstall, did you find that pump head adaptor? Hoe much do yu want for it. I believe I got the best also. Like it's I does

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Pm me your e mail and I will mail you tonight after work .

thx
