i recently bought the Kamco clearflow CF30. It is a cracking machine comes which all the fittings and hoses you will need and even 2 jobs worth of chemicals. I like the fact that the hoses are clear so you can see any dirt that is being removed. No doubt there are better ones on the market but for domestic powerflushing i thought this was the best.

I have a Kamco CF 30 as well. A cracking tool as stated above but I have never tried any other so cant compare

Norstrom for me, it can take up to 80 deg C water, many of the others can't take that sort of temperature.
CF30 here too. They don't give you waffle like "its only guaranteed if you use our chemicals". Their position is you can use anything. They also have a good pump adaptor, so you only have to remove the pump motor then you can fit the pipes to the body.
yeah the CF30 lets you acid clean limescale which im not too sure if the others do.
As for the 80deg on the other make does it have clear hoses. The CF30 has clear hoses and will take water upto 50 deg and over 50 deg if you use different hoses that arn't clear.
The FX2 cleaning chemical that come with it is very good as well. I tried using others like x800 ferroquest but it still left residue in the pipe as the fx2 more or less stripped the lining of the copper pipe. FX2 only has to be circulating for 15mins to do the job where as ferroquest needs at least an hour to do the same job. I have just ordered some more FX2 from kamco as it worked out a little cheaper with buying in bulk than x800 ferroquest.

I bought the latest Jetflush which I happen to think is superb.
Yes it will only take 40 deg max but it shifts anything I throw at it.
Got a ballcock on the cold fill and the biggest Grundfos pump in it Ive ever seen.
Got reversing valves and will dump both ways
Think it cost me £900 inc but if you want the best....

the new kamco has a double dump valve on it allowing to dump water in both directions.
The ball valve is a good idea if it will fill up fast enough due to restriction. 3/4" ball valve might be a good idea although not sure if it will fit inside a kamco CF30.
