Power-Flush your central heating system NOW with a Fernox power-flush for only £280.00

This offer is for a limited time only. The package includes flushing a system of up to 7 radaitors (extra radiators 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.

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?

After your Power Flush, why not prevent all that dirt and rust accumulating again by having a Fernox TF1 Total Filter insalled in your system? See below.

The Problems

Fuel Wastage

Without treatment, corrosion debris will accumulate in the boiler, pipes and radiators causing increasing limescale deposits, reduced heat transfer and up to a third of your fuel bill going to complete waste.



Boiler Noise

Deposits of sludge and scale find their way into the boiler and can cause irregular flow, which results in annoying rattling and clunking. This increases in frequency and intensity as deposits 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 when venting).



Pump Seizure

The abrasive and magnetic properties of black oxide sludge increase shaft and bearing wear in pumps causing them to stick or fail.



The Solutions

Power Flush!

Power flushing is the most efficient and effective method of cleansing a central heating system. The principle is to create a very 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.



Fernox F3

When we do your Power Flush we not only flush clean water through your system, we also use the powerful Fernox F3 Cleaner Liquid.

Fernox F3 Cleaner Liquid:

  • Removes sludge and scale and restores heating efficiency.
  • Removes flux residues and other installation debris.
  • Eliminates boiler noise.
  • Is a non-acidic neutral formulation (environmentally friendly).
  • Conditions the system prior to adding a Protector.
  • Is 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. After Power Flushing your system we protect it with Fernox F1 Inhibitor.



Fernox Total TF1 Filter

The Fernox Total Filter TF1 (UK Pat. 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 safely contain them within the filter.

When we do your Power Flush we offer you the option to have the Fernox Total F1 Filter installed for just £120.00 (Normal price £180.00).
