So for all you powerflushing people i am after a new flushing machine, is there any reccommendations.
My obvious choice is the kamco, (and dont even say the ones that have the same motor as them as they are rubbish)
So what have you got, any good and reliable...

Whatever you get, make sure the flexy hoses are three-quarter, not half-inch.
Too small hoses means even a good pump is crippled to start with. The whole point is to achieve high flow rates through the rads - small hoses will make this difficult!

The kamco is good

Norstrom make a good machine. not used one, but a mate has one with the thermal add-on. He says it's the puppies privates.
http://www.norstrom.co.uk/index.htm try there.
Also what's wrong with the one with the kamco motor? Mine works fine. get a magnaclean powerflush filter too tho. save loads of time and customers love to see them covered in black crap.

I have finally taken the plunge and bought the KAMCO (I was so impressed with talking to the top man at the PHEX at Chelsea last year) I think the secret is to line up a few bits of work to cover the cost of it. I took on 3 boiler installs, a complete C/H job and a whole house radiator change and just priced it in over those jobs. It is now sitting in my van ready to use for any other job and the rest of it's life it is just going to make me a profit.
I have also done some very cheap local advertising and offer it as a stand alone service and have booked 4 jobs on the strength of this as well.
