Don't forget to test to manufacturers specification

Im only doing an air pressure test. But will go to the required pressure. With as much water in the system as I can to reduce air volume.

Needs to be water mate

It SHOULD be water only due to H&S being a diyer I can choose to ignore those. Fill it with water then pump up, be minimal air volume.

Yes and no most leaks won't show up with air you shove a hydraulic pressure test and you will see

What if any cleaning steps should be done. In emails he said that a water flush through will be carried out. Seeing as its brand new everything and plastic piping is that all that's required.

Is there something wrong with plastic piping?

It appears like your quite competent, just go ahead and do it. Air testing plastic pipework ain't a brilliant method for tightness testing but it better than no test

The best I can do short of hiring a hydraulic tester, is to fill with water and pump up the air will at least rise to the high points so everything else will be hydraulic tested. I'm pretty sure there won't be any leaks the bits I have done so far have held 2 bar overnight.
