Summer Specials
Power-Flush your central heating system NOW with a Fernox power-flush for only £280.00
This offer is for a limmited time only. The package includes flushing a system of up to 7 radaitors (extra rads charged at £15 each) with Fernox F3 Cleanser and F1 inhibitor.
An industral magnetic filter is always used in conjunction with our power-flushing machines to remove even more of the dirt.

Why not add a Fernox TF1 Total Filter to your system? See below

 

Did you know that power flushing your central heating system not only prolongs the life

of your boiler and radiators but also reduces your carbon footprint. 

 

 

 

The problems

 

 

Fuel Wastage

Without treatment, corrosion debris will

accumulate in the boiler causing increasing

limescale deposits,reduced heat transfer 

and up to a third of a fuel bill going to

complete waste. 

 

 

 

 

 

Boiler noise

This increases in frequency and intensity

as deposits of sludge and scale build up

in an unprotected boiler.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cold spots

The familiar cool low central area of a

radiator indicates a build-up of black

sludge sediment that restricts flow and

reduces heat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frequent venting

When the top of a radiator is cold during

operation, either air or hydrogen is to blame.

Hydrogen gas builds up as a by-product

of electrolytic corrosion and is flammable

(due caution is required).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pump seizure and failure

The abrasive and magnetic properties of

black oxide sludge increase shaft and

bearing wear in pumps causing them to

stick or fail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                               

 

                       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is power flushing?

 

Power flushing is the most efficient and effective method of

cleansing a central heating system. The principle is to

create a powerful fresh water flow under controlled

conditions to remove debris from the system.

By connecting the power flushing unit

to the heating circuit in place of the

system pump, boiler or radiator the circuit can

be thoroughly cleansed of limescale and

corrosion debris.

 

 

 

The cleaning and treating of central

heating systems

All new systems should be pre-commission

cleansed in accordance with BS:7593 and

Benchmark. This ensures flux residues,

excess jointing compounds, mineral oil and

other contaminants that can be found in

the system following installation, and that

can effect the performance of the system or

cause component failure, are removed.

It is important when installing new boilers into old systems that all sludge is first removed from the system or this could accumulate in the new boiler and lead to premature failure.Additionally, in hard water areas existing systems will have

accumulated limescale together with corrosion deposits in the heat exchanger, which could easily have reduced the boiler efficiency by over 5%.

 

Fernox Cleaners F3

• Removes sludge and scale and restores heating efficiency

  in existing systems

• Removes flux residues and other installation debris

• Eliminates boiler noise

• Non-acidic neutral formulation (environmentally friendly)

• Conditions the system prior to adding a Protector

• Compatible with all metals and materials commonly used

  in heating systems

 

System protection

Whether pre-commission cleaning new systems or restoring

existing systems, all systems should be protected against any

further attack from corrosion or limescale after cleansing by

using a properly formulated corrosion and scale Protector.

 

Fernox Protectors

• Provides long term protection against corrosion of all metals

• Prevents build-up of black sludge

• Saves on fuel bills through improved efficiency

• Prevents sticking pumps

• DWTA accredited products

 

 

Fernox Total TF1 Filter

The Fernox Total Filter TF1 (UK patent pending 0806091.5) is a revolutionary in-line filter, which combines hydrocyclonic action with specially designed magnet assemblies, to remove both magnetic and non-magnetic contaminants from system water and contain safely within the filter.

If you have a power flush then we can install a total filter for just £125.00 (Normal price £180.00).
