A Breakthrough in System Cleaning

It has taken the heating and plumbing sector many years to recognize the benefits and full potential that power- flushing can bring to ageing, sludge-ridden, heating systems. The procedure is extremely effective. Extensive testing has demonstrated that power-flushing is the best industry practice when it comes to maintaining central heating systems. Power-flushing has the ability to restore circulation and improve system efficiency with minimum disruption to the household.

Fitting a new boiler to an existing heating system?

Modern boilers, developed to minimise fuel costs and pollution, have compact heat exchangers with narrow waterways, and this makes them more susceptible to problems caused by debris in the water.

Boiler manufacturers insist that heating systems are thoroughly flushed according to BS7593 : 2006 when installing a new boiler. A Revive power flush is far more effective than traditional methods, and ensures that the boiler installation complies with the 'best practice' standards.

Why have your heating system power flushed?

+ Cures flow and circulation problems.
+ Restores system efficiency.
+ Restores heat output to radiators.
+ Cleans the whole system, including underfloor pipework.
+ Removes aggressive water; treatment prevents further corrosion.
+ Cures or prevents boiler noise.
+ Power flushing and descaling in only one visit.
+ Complete process carried out in less than six hours**
...(**depending on system size)
+ More effective than traditional flushing methods.
+ Minimises boiler warranty problems.

What happens during a Revive power flush?

The Revive power flushing pump is simply connected into heating systems, either across the standard circulator pump couplings, across the tails of one radiator, or wherever most practicable.

Power flushing is a highly effective cleansing operation which works by pumping water at a much higher velocity than usual through the heating system, to loosen and mobilise harmful corrosion deposits, and to suspend them in the rapidly moviing water. The process is made more effective by specialist cleaning chemicals, and an instantaneous flow reversal device, which creates turbulence in the radiators to optimise 'pick up' of the debris.

Once loosened, the unwanted debris is purged from the system with clean water. At the end of the flushing process, the system contains fresh water, and reinstatement of the system to normal operation takes only a few minutes.

During the REVIVE process, radiators are individually flushed, without removing or disconnecting them from the system, by directing the full output of the pump through each radiator separately.

Revive power flushing is not a high pressure operation, and it is suitable for most domestic wet central heating systems. It is carried out with minimal disturbance and disruption to the normal operation of the system, often without disconnecting the boiler or any radiators.

Why do heating systems need protecting?

As soon as a heating system is completed and filled with water, deterioration of the system begins. The combination of water, air, a mixture of metals, and even installation debris and contaminants, can result in internal corrosion, sludge formation in low flow areas, and scaling of boilers and heat exchangers.

Symptoms include cold panels in radiators, blocked radiators, irritating boiler noises, a long recovery time after drawing off hot water, an inadequate water supply, and failure of pumps, radiators, and valves.

These problems are not inevitable, and good care and maintenance of a system, and the addition to the heating system of a quality corrosion and scale inhibitor, such as SYSTEMSAFE DM, will prevent and often cure them.
