Cleaning CH system using Sentinel X800

[mickyg]

I know tha kamco gives a decent training session free after you have brought one their machines do the others do the same??

the norstrom rep will come and visit you on site to show you how to set up the machine and answer any queries. not sure about the others, think sentinel do a dvd.
Didn't bother me cos I already had done lots of flushing before i bought it. I was more interested in the quality of the kit.

I think that Kamco will let you attend their training BEFORE you buy one of their machines but will charge you about £30 which they refund that if you buy one of their machines afterwards.

If they dont then ask for Keith and say that I suggested they should do it for you.

nice one Tony

I hate Flushing and refuse to do it but was only suggesting the training to the OP

 

[David937]

I don't think they'll be willing to let me go on their training course since I'm only 14

I dont see that age should be of any relevance if you could demonstrate that you have access to the purchase price.

 

[David937]

I don't do any plumbing work or anything of the sort for anyone else really so I don't think I'll need one. Hopefully when I am a qualified heating engineer I'll get a power flusher.

To flush it properly it should be drained from every pipe drop not just one

 

[David937]

Thanks, I have only two in my house, there is a single pipe drop in the kitchen and then all the piping is under the floor boards.

bahco make the only adjustable spanners that are worthwhile.

I was looking at this one:

Look's OK to remove radiator blank plugs?

Just about anything that fits should be fine to do rad blank plugs, they should only be a bit more than handtight as they seal on the o-ring, not on the thread.

Just FYI Sentinel X800 was on offer in Homebase and I got it for 4.98, also some other Sentinel products were on offer at 3.98.

Can I have a pallet please?

Soak it for an hour in X800 then tap the pipes with it and you're done.
