Central heating flusher

[eyespy999]

Hi all

I have a blockage in my central heating only one rad working luke wam all others cold so hiring a pro flush for the weekend to try and flush it out.

There are quite a few flushing chemicals on the market does anyone have any recommendations which to use?

Sytem has been sludging up for quite some time so finally needs sorting out.

Thanks for any advice

Good luck. If there is no flow through the radiators, cleaners, sludge removers, etc. will not come into contact with the debris. It will be very difficult to clear any complete blockages.

Is it plastic or metallic heating pipe?

I think it's all copper pipe under the floor. Looks like I have an interesting weekend ahead flushing!

Use Kamco FX2 as the cleaning chemical, you'll need a full 5L drum if your system is really bad. As JBPHS has said, a powerflusher won't clear complete blockages, you need at least a small amount of flow to make it work
