Which powerflusher do I buy???

[Assured Heating]

Firstly hi all I'm new to the site and looking forward to your answers!

My crappy Rothenberger powerflusher has been knocked about too much now in the van and has now broke!! apparently parts are not available for it but I'm not really interested in fixing it, I know I am well over due a new one!, one that might actually remove some sludge would be good!

Problem is there is so many on the market, which one would be best for me, my jobs are mostly boiler swaps, I like to get these jobs done in a day, we normally use chemicals and flush cold from the the old boiler primary's, I do realize a warm power flush would give better results so maybe a flusher with a heater would be the one, Proflush therm?? but then I quite like the idea of having a magnet to collect the passing debris but I don't really want to use a combination of a flusher and the new magnaclean flusher really....I don't know a lot about the Pro flush machines, they look quite basic to me.

Or maybe do ust forget about about these add on's and just go for a powerful Kamco?? which looks the part.

I know I'm in for about a grand, but I need to get it right, I've been umming and arhing for days now..

you best advice please guys!

Have a look at this thread:

It seems that the Magnacleanse is a good all-rounder especially suitable for systems with old pipework. You can use mains cold water or add your own pump if the pressure is too low.

You would probably still need to go around and agitate the magnetite in each radiator though.

we use the norstrom proflush, pretty good kit

I intermittently look at power flushers before deciding its more cost effective to hire one (£35 a day) but always end up thinking about either the Nortrom or the Kamco CF90
