I've got a combi boiler system and have moved pipes around, new radiators, etc. Bit broke now and can't afford the power flush. Can I connect a hosepipe to the drain point in the return pipe pipe below the boiler, cut into the outgoing water pipe from the boiler and add another "drain point", then hook a hosepipe up to it from the mains and flush the system with mains water pressure and expect a fairly good result?
Can you flush a closed central heating system this way?

yes
No need to even be that complicated. You have the mains already connected to the system via the filling loop.
As long as you ensure the water is going around the system rather than straight out of the drain, it will be as good as any powerflush

If you don't then you'll have a very clean 1 foot section of pipe.No need to even be that complicated. You have the mains already connected to the system via the filling loop.

You do the thinking then, me lift stuff, smash things, sweep up, fetch tool.As long as you ensure the water is going around the system rather than straight out of the drain, it will be as good as any powerflush
I'm going to assume that's the case and that the boiler has a non return valve in it but if not should be obvious by lack of black gunk appearing...
