First time. There are lots of sites on the net to give you a free UK Limited company check.

So we can see that powder flushing wasnt his first idea

Pro flush powder is the bees nees works on cold flush!! Great bit of kit

A magnetic filter on the return at boiler would remove any crud that is is suspension.
You could try some power flushing chemicals as said, like F5 Fernox and let the filter work.
At £1000 for powder flushing 10 rads, I would rather buy new rads

Yikes! That's expensive. Must be quite hard on pipework etc, you'd want to be certain you got it all out.

Your not that far off the price of re-piping especially if you used MLCP or similar.

I followedup by googling the business which doean't have a phone number (on google at any rate) and the photo there is on a council estate somewhere. There's a lot of advertising gone down for this business with big claims. None of the major companies as far as I'maware, are doing this and I seriously have to question the viability of the whole concept!

No phone number on the site eirther, none of the videos are very compelling rinse water round a bowl you would have added chemicals first before doing power flush and i cant see how you could guarantee that all their powder/pellets have been removed from the system. also do they also flush boiler i wouldnt imagine any manufacturers have been approached about any damage.

Yes, the plumber tried to balance the system. Even with all rads closed and just one open, those that usually never get warm do not heat up.

I don't have a confirmation that it is blocked as such. The plumber disconnected the radiator. He closed off other radiators in the loop. He then cut the plastic pipe that feeds that radiator about 5m away from the radiator. He used the vacuum cleaner to suck the air from the pipes but doing it one way (sucking by the radiator) did nothing. When he connected the vac to the other end of the pipes (where he cut it), there was a very slight suction in the pipe by the radiator.

The radiator was completely removed and the flow/return pipes were connected by a hose but there was no flow through it.

Did you solve the problem at all? We have the same issue and have been thinking for a couple of years how to solve it by avoiding repiping as msf flooring not floor boards. Looking at powder flush a new thing but can’t find reviews other than their website.

Really stuck so would appreciate your reply

This thread deserves a disclaimer.

Note that we are not pretending to be powder flush. We discuss both sides of any argument openly. The opinions of the people posting a post to a thread, are their own opinions, but only at the time of posting. As opinions can change over time.

I know the owner, Steve, has issues with this forum so is claiming we are losing him £1500 a day somehow. Can't see how that happens when their turnover isn't even that.

They own lots and lots of trademarks. But note that you ARE allowed to discuss and mention trademarks in natural discussion. And those who own trademarks should expect them to be talked about. Surely that's a good thing.

Continue discussing powder flush in your natural way. Be constructive if you have criticism. I'm sure Steve Kukard will appreciate genuine feedback positive or negative.
