Fernox vs kamco power flush units

[tommy1712]

Fernox or kamco????? I am getting a power flush in jan. What one should I get

cheers gents

I like my Kamco but have nothing bad to say about Fernox or Norstrom. I don't like the Anton one.

Always found the kamco best tbh but we don't use them any more cause all sorts of problems a year or two down the line. I did use one of the magnaclean powers lush units recently though and thats an impressive bit of kit.

Just fit magnaclean as standard now tbh

Apparently the fernox can be run at 80deg = job jobbed faster right?

I think you get a days training with Kamco, probably the same for Fernox.

Either of those with a set of magnetic filters and you won't go wrong. The kamco filter tubes are clear with is handy for you and the the punter can see.

I'm purchasing a new one soon like you and it will be the Kamco I go for CF90 with the magnets.

Just see what kinda deal you can get. The Adey magnets are good too.

The kamco is up to 50deg I think, both do a corse with the package. The 90 is the big one right? It's not that I wanna do a rush job but speeding up the process always helps

The kamco acid cleaner will wreck alloy heat exchanger apparently where the fernox don't so they say

Also do u put the lock shields back to where there were or re balance, a balance is extra right

trying out a sentinel jetflo tomorrow, only heats to 40, mind you the boilers isnt there anymore so its a cold one. £30 hire fm my local merchant, only problem, first time out the box so muggins had to put it all together as he hadnt and I couldnt wait around today.

 

[tommy1712]

Is it the hotter the better of an I talking rubbish?

 

[lame plumber]

if you can use a hot flush it works better, if no boiler an immersion can be used on some makes, Norstom for one but bleedin expensive

It says in the MI's upto 75degrees mate, only because I've looked online.

I wonder how well these immersion heaters work.
I mean the most they can put out is 3kw max. I just can't envisage them heating a system up to any meaninful temps for flushing.....am i wrong ???

 

[tommy1712]

Just use the boiler??? At a guess I am new to flushing and the heaters do look a bit of a gimmick but if u keep the boiler connected and just remove the pump use that????

 

[newcastle phill]

All well and good if boilers working.
But some are DOA
