Plain Advice on Power Flush
Sludge forms when metal inside the system rusts and mixes with dirt. This dark debris settles in radiators and pipes. As a result, some radiators stay cold at the bottom. The boiler may also work harder to heat the home.
Look for the common signs. Radiators may be cold at the bottom but warm at the top. The system may take a long time to heat up, and the water from a bled radiator may look dark. You may also hear banging or gurgling from the pipes.
A flush is often a good idea before a new boiler goes in. Dirty water can harm a new boiler, so a clean system protects your investment. Afterwards, a magnetic filter helps catch new debris, because dirt can still enter the system. Ask your installer to explain what the flush will involve and what it will cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a power flush and do I need one?
A power flush uses a pump and cleaning fluid to remove sludge from a heating system. You may need one if radiators stay cold at the bottom or the pipes are noisy.
How do I know if my radiators need a power flush?
Look for cold patches on radiators, slow heating and dark water when you bleed a radiator. Frequent pressure drops can also be a sign. An engineer can confirm the cause.
How long does a power flush take?
The time depends on the size of the system and how dirty it is. Ask for an estimate when the engineer sees your heating. A careful flush is better than a rushed one.
