PowerFlushing?

[chris watkins]

I am a bit late to this one, sorry but why the hell is the OP not talking to their engineer about what they have done ?

It kills me when they select a professional to carry out work of them, have them do it, then come on here asking the in's & out's of a technical subject without speaking to the person they are employing first. What do they want ammunition !!!

By all means ask if you don't think you have had a satisfactory answer but have the good grace to talk it through first.

I think he came on to find out what a power flush involves

Thanks for all the interesting views and helpful advice - very much appreciated.

Except the comment from Chris Watkins who came in late and shouldn't have bothered postulating b*****ks from his high horse.

I'm afraid i side with Chris. You employed the "contractor" so get the answers and explanations from him which i believe from your last sentence you have to your satisfaction.

A filter on a machine would be magnets as the way to remove sludge, people call it black sludge,it's iron oxide which obviously sticks to magnetic filters, so if your sure then jobs a good one.

Thanks JeffD

What do you imagine or believe from your research on the internet, a powerflush will actually do for your system?

You'll get your answer if you watch the Fernox PowerFlushing video on YouTube.

And you believe everything that is sold (yes believe it or not they are selling their product). Btw Fernox promote themselves and their products as environmentally friendly. No good stuff (ie anything that really works) in their wares :wink:

Sorry, but you need to be properly informed to be able to ask pertinent questions. And I've found that it's always healthy to get a second opinion, especially when you dealing with unfamiliar and technical issues.

Thats what you are paying for. A properly informed good service. At the end of the day, you hired a contractor you have no faith in. Maybe you choose wrong. You now live with the decision.

The internet can be your best friend or worst enemy for second opinions. Google some pain or ailment you may be having and start counting down your days.

householder, the one on his high horse imho, please god dont ever let me work for you, I'd probably end up giving you a glasgow kiss as I left.

Thanks

Don't worry lame plumber, you'd never get granted the job!

there is a god afterall, your problem is that a little knowledge is dangerous and your limited knowledge is obvious. Before you carry on, my experience of large million pound contracts is quite large as I have been a bursar / facilities manager in several large schools and run the projects there and if I was to do what you do to the tradesmen we employed I'd have been in severe trouble with getting any of the projects finished in time. If your unhappy with a tradesman, you in your vast experience should have known what to do immediately you were worried about his ability to do the job. You stop them straightaway, inform them of your worries and if you dont get a satisfactory answer, they are off the job now. why are you asking questions on this site, if with your vast experience you didnt follow the first basic rule of project management,or is it as I would suspect that you are a micromanager who doesnt let people do their work without interfering and wonders why they sometimes just up and off as soon as they can.

Thanks for all the interesting views and helpful advice - very much appreciated.

Glad you had the foresight to edit that as there was nothing insulting in Chris's post that merited your original response.

Well, this one went downhill. Chris and Tamz are correct, you've employed a professional ask him. I've been doing an install all week and spent loads of time answering questions. When I do estimates I answer questions. Existing customers can pick up the phone and ask questions. They all get answers.

It's not a case of paying peanuts is it?

 

[chris watkins]

Thanks

What's with the habit of posting something & then editing in the small hours, can't stand by what you first typed?
Can I thank you for your kind words & helpful advice on my earlier post, I will remember that.
Still does not alter the fact that you are hurt by the truth & proved my point, you are just looking for ammunition against the contractor, please don't let us know how much you managed to get them to take off the quoted cost.

Send a water sample to fernox for a system health check at a small cost, They will send you a report you will then know the condition of your system,you can then talk to your installer thanking him for a job well done and recommended him or if the report is not good talk to your installer to resolve it,
