Can acid based power flushing cleaner (Kamco) be used inside a Speedfit plumbing installation without destroying the O rings seals ?

According to kamco it won't damage the orings, this is taken from their powerflushing faq


Q. Can you power flush a system with plastic piping, such as Hep2O?
A. Yes you can. FX2 liquid, and HYPER-FLUSH, can be used on plastic pipework systems, and will not damage either the pipework, or the ‘O’ ring materials.
 
Acid based chemicals are bad on rubber seals and also aluminium heat exchangers.Kamco do a acid free cleaner hyper-flush, or fernox f3 is popular

I dont find F3 very good! I only use it on clean systems!

Sentinel X800 is a very good non acid chemical for power flushing. But it does need to be well flushed out afterwards!
