"Powerflushing" means using a powerflushing machine, which has a big pump with a container of chemicals and often a sediment magnet, that forecefully squirts cleaning solution backwards and forwards through your pipes and radiators, to dislodge and trap the sediment. It usually takes about half a day to do a house properly, and costs some hundreds of pounds. It is usually done by professional plumbers or heating engineers as the equipment is not cheap, though it can be hired.
