New boiler: "Inserted necessary chemicals" - is that a Powerflush or should I worry?

[munchkin19]

Can anyone tell me what this phrase means on an invoice? I've just had a new condensing boiler installed to replace a combi that was 21 years old. Is the work below enough? (The engineer said he was doing a powerflush - is that what this is? Or should I be worried?)

"Supplied and inserted all the necessary chemicals to flush and preserve the system".

Just hoping for some reassurance.

thanks!

sounds fine, one chemical is used to clean and another is used to protect, the protection one needs to be kept up each year to ensure corrosion does not shorten the life of the system

Has plumber fitted a filter , it can look like a big jar with two pipes going to it.

I haven't been in the flat to check, but he's put a Worcester Magna Filter on his invoice, so I hope so!

He's just emailed me to say:

"when we install any boiler we always flush the system in accordance with the manufacturers requirements"

So I dare say he's done what he's supposed to. (I just wanted to check as I was worried that any old crud might still be in the system and could damage the boiler.)

You could always go and have a look if you are worried:crazy:

Thanks, Scott. I'm a landlord (living about 20 miles away) and can only get there at the weekend as I look after 3 x toddlers each day during the week as my real job. I"m planning to go over this weekend but I thought I would ask as I want to pay the invoice today as the work was finished yesterday.

Good point, though. ; )
