Powerflush

At CKT Boilers one of our experienced engineers can perform a Powerflush on your system to remove any dirt, sludge, rust or debris which may have accumulated in your system.

We use a specialized machine that distributes a chemical through your radiators, pipes and boiler at a high pressure. This cleanses your system allowing for the water to flow freely through your system.

If substances are left in your heating system, they could potentially cause blockages or corrosion which in turn will affect the performance of your boiler and it could also lead to a breakdown.

If you’re getting a new boiler installed, the building regulations recommend that a suitable cleanse is carried out prior to the installation. This helps to prevent your new system from being contaminated and inhibited by the sludge and debris that were present in your old system.

There are a number of signs that could help you determine whether your system needs a Powerflush. These include:

• Cold spots on your radiators, particularly at the bottom
• The radiators require constant bleeding
• Noisy radiators and boiler
• Radiator leaks
• Frequent breakdowns
• Boiler constantly needs to be restarted
• Central heating takes a long time to heat up
• Some radiators struggle to heat up more than others
• Discoloured water when radiators are bled
• Cold radiators but hot pipes
