Powerflushing Microbore ...

View the thread, titled "Powerflushing Microbore ..." which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

Hi Phil, understand it's your choice to PF every boiler change, all be it not a requirement, but you must make an additional charge on each job to cover extra time, and any maintenance costs on the PF unit, But you must have come across systems that it is not possible to PF, I like you own my own unit and have done so for over 10 years, But I don't think its necessary to PF every job, but that's my choice based on the condition of the system, & meny years experience in the trade ! I find that in this area (soft Water) using a good quality cleaner with filter works just as well, PF-ing does not guarantee to remove everything in the system, With your commitment and insistence on PF-ing are you by any chance ex BG ? What Hammers is saying, if he deems it necessary to PF something then he will hire a unit,
 
Now now play nicely

I guess if you can only retort with insults it says a lot about you ?

Seen it 100s of times before.
Lose the argument - become insulting.


The glaring thing is we evidently are poles apart in how we approach jobs.
and my business model is nothing like yours. But that's cool and I haven't a problem with that.

There is no fixed guidelines that say the old systems MUST be powerflushed. Every job is different and the installer needs make call. If some powerflush as a matter of coarse wither system requires or not then that is their business.
The Manufactures only state a cleanser must be used and flushed through to clear systems. But Worcester do state a powerflush MAY be required.

We all agree that they terrible twin entry valves MUST be replaced!

Well trust Worcester to state the obvious , but PF-ing is not the answer to everything, that some people think it is ! Phill does all of his, I do the ones I think needs it, costumers do get he option but at extra cost, Takes an extra day to do a proper flush and is better with 2 people.
 
Thanks for the information re: Powerflushing .... and yes, twin entry valves will need to be replaced!

Phill does all of his



No your mis quoting me or you have difficulty with straight facts.
Read my posts again and

Please point me toward where I state I do all mine ???
Im waiting.

What i was saying is those who flush with a magnetic filter only, in my opinion is half a job and if your going to go to the trouble - do it properly in my opinion.

Then your honor, we have those amongst us stating legal standpoint lol

Someone else stated theres no requirement to flush.
I stated there is reference to flushing in the DBSCG.
Again I made no reference to power flushing - I stated flushing.

READ MY POSTS AGAIN.

Some on here need to go to specsavers and learn to read.


No wonder some plumbers have a bad name for poor quality work.
They cant even absorb basic information without getting themselves in a muddle

Sorry to upset you ! but you give the impression that you PF all your boiler changers, and that only using chemicals & a filter is only doing half a job, so do you PF all of your upgrades ? or do you to, some times also only do half a job ?
slighting people on there ability to read and absorb information again gives the impression that you are a little arrogant ,and don't like criticism , we all make mistakes even you, unless you believe that you are infallible
 
Not arrogant.
Annoyed when mis quoted because some are too lazy to read properly

Some may also conclude some self righteous "pork" spectators are both provocative and arrogant with their "I know better" attitude

But you still have not answered the question,! do you PF all your upgrades or sometimes only do half a job (Your quote) Honest answer
 
I don't answer to you chum.
Think this has run its course
Im sure others are just as bored as I am of this farce
