No that's fair enough mate to be honest this is the sort of discussion I was hoping for so thanks all

At the very least if the customer knows you have done it and they have the data then it takes you out of the blame game if the boiler manufacture refuses to honour the warranty plus I guess it could help you in the word of mouth recommendation sense.

But also could go the other way if they believe the manufacturer??

If the manufacturer says its hasn't been flushed proper and they believe them over you could have the reverse effect on your respect and customer satisfaction

Ok with you now. But if customer see`s you in the house with the machine running for however long and you give them a copy of the before and after level readings in the invoice surely that and a nice new boiler helps you. Not saying your bulletproof but every little bit helps.

True but again it's like why people keep going with British Gas instead of a local engy

Reckon there are 4 reasons

It`s down to a name they feel they can trust & the power of advertising, the dread of selecting from unknown indies and ignorance on their part.

I used to use an acidic cleaner followed by neutralising chemic after and test with PH paper.

Caused a few issues though and now i'm back to good old F3 and F1

Occasionally use Kamco machine but not as often. Only used now if someone specifically needs it or boiler is busted and its urgent.

I find the old ways are good. F3, leave it in a week and get it hot then drop it out.

Is for you F3 / F1 the best chemicals ? Hat about sentinel or mac ?

 

[Riley]

As long as they're buildcert passed then they should be fine

How about draining and re filling the system ... I do not think that the majority of us plumbers puts a x100 inhibitor bottle inside the system after it's been drained.

I always carry things like that with me to do so but I don't think a lot of us doing it

 

[Riley]

I don't know mate the majority of people on here always remind a DIYer to do it I would be surprised if they didn't do it themselves

Yes. Fernox has been tried and tested for years now and I think it's the best, Sentinal is a close second in my opinion But these cheapo Shop Local type things are garbage IMO

Riley ,I have seen and experienced a lot of different engineers that they do not care much. Nowadays a lot of people work in quantity ways which means : going to a customer / in and out / getting paid and never go back. That's their way of doing a business.

The engineers who wants to build a good company with good reputation are different

 

[Riley]

That's the thing my friend. As long as I'm doing it properly others can do what they want :smile:
