Hi guys,
I have an old potterton boiler that i will be replaced in the next few months before the winter.
The boiler came with the house that was built in 1993 so is around 21 years old. I have had a quote to replace the boiler but was told a powerflush wouldnt be needed, and that a magnaclean and inhibitor would suffice. All i know is that my pipes are microbore and apparently are quite thin, and that there was a brand new radiator added in to my conservatory in around 2006, so i dont know if that means the system would have had to be drained and subsequently would have had a bit of a clean out because of that draining and refilling ( if that was indeed done ) ?
I plan to have a new intergas boiler installed but dont want it to be damaged by sludge etc. Im not sure there is a way to tell if i need a powerflush, does it go by age, or the type of system you have etc?
I am happy to pay some to powerflush if required and thats fine, but of course if it is only needed on 30+ years old systems then i am happy to leave it.Can you advise? Thanks
