What is system flushing?
System flushing means flushing out the debris and sludge that accumulates in a heating system. When a system is installed, it is all clean and tidy. Over time, your system can accumulate particles and sludge. For example, older radiators can commonly become partially filled with sludge and metal particles. System flushing is a way of clearing out these unwanted materials and returning your system to full working order.
Why do you need system flushing?
The problem with the sludge and metal particles is that they can affect the efficiency of the system. For example, a radiator that is partially filled with unwanted material will only give out partial heat. Similarly, these materials can affect the movement of water in the pipes and change the pressure, as well as risking damage to the boiler or the pump. System flushing restores the heat efficiency of your system, but it also reduces the risk of system failure and expensive repairs.
How can you tell when you need system flushing?
Common signs can be that the radiators are not getting warm all over, or that some radiators are warmed more than others. You could also hear rough sounds in the pump if metal particles have caused damage, and when bleeding your radiators, you might notice that the water is very discoloured or contains rust particles.
Why do we recommend MagnaCleanse system flushing instead of power system flushing?
One of the most common options for system flushing is power flushing. This is a very simple process, where a mechanical pump is used to push mains water and cleaning chemicals through the system. It can be an effective way of clearing some systems. However, it has three main disadvantages. Firstly, this system does not always fully clear all the sludge in radiators. Secondly, the higher pressure could cause bursts if you have older joints and pipework. Thirdly, it involves emptying buckets of dirty liquid from every radiator.
In contrast, MagnaCleanse system flushing is more effective at clearing sludge from the radiators, because it uses a VibraClean method. It uses the systems own pump, so there is very little change in pressure and no extra risk of damage to the pipework. Also, the method is cleaner. It uses less water and avoids the need for continual bucket emptying. There is also the option of installing a MagnaClean filter to the system permanently to maintain the system.
