This is just as good as power flushing if not better if you ask me. Those that have a vested interest in power flushing won't tell you that, but there is little difference. Think about it, flushing out a rad under mains water pressure is going to get rid of as much as the crap out of your rad as power flushing will.
However, i wouldn't really recommend it if you've got nice cream carpets all over the house!
Absolute garbage from someone who knows nothing about powerflushing
How will you use chemicals
How will you reverse the flow
Water will allways take the easiest route so simply flushing mains water through will not achieve much more than draining down and re-filling and will not remove and solids or blockages
Better than powerflushing. Ha I really try not to be rude by you my dear chap are an idiot
Use the chemicals in the same way you usually would. Put some x400 and let it run in the system for a few days. I know the outside method isn't going to clean your pipework but it's just as good for cleaning rads which is what i was getting at. Your doing the exact same thing that you are with a machine. All a machine is doing is pumping water round the system. It's not that hi-tec is it.
Reverse flow? Hmm..you could try switching the hose pipe round and cleaning it from the other side. Jeez, the way some people go on you'd think power flushing machines are like the second coming!
I've done many power flushes before and still do since it's much more convenient. All i'm saying is, if someone is a competent diy'er and is decorating and has the carpets up, i'd say go ahead and take each one individually outside and clean them under mains pressure. You'll get them as clean as a power flusher will and save yourself a wad of cash. I'm not surprised your advocating power flushing, aren't you the same guy that charges almost the same as BG?
I love the way all of a sudden every system needs a £500 power flush at the first sign of trouble with the boiler. The amount of times we've had enquires about power flushes as BG were too expensive yet once on the job realised it doesn't even need one. In a lot of cases "it needs a power flush" is a convenient solution for someone who can't rectify the fault properly.
You've obviously read some of my other posts then
Yes I charge as much as BG for a powerflush if nessasary but before I offer one or take it on I take water samples and try to identify the reason for the system sludge
I am advising what is best, I'm not Hannah do the job so the money is not coming my way
I hope the rads arnt too big would be fun removing and flushing some rads. I've got a 600x2600 double in my lounge don't fancy varying that outside
