Power flushers

[heatm8]

Hi im looking help in buying a power flusher that does up to 20 radiators . I have been looking at the kamco cf90 with the magnetic power flushing filter.
Any thoughts/recomendations ?

Never used a kamco before but have heard they are good flushers, been using a fernox mk11 for a last year, best machine i've had and can be picked up cheap on flebay.

I must admit I also have been looking into power flushing machines and I found that I have had good feed back from other plumbers about the Kamco CF90. but what HHP ed
says would be something to consider though

On the bathroom I'm working on the central heating pipes are sludged to soddery, I cut a section out while fitting the chrome towel rad and 40% of the pipe was filled with magnetite and a magnet sticked to it a treat.

Worryingly they had a brand new worcester conventional boiler fitted 2 years ago and they were supposed to have powerflushed it, apparantly they had to get them back to do it because they never bothered to do it the first time.

Would you expect to see so much magnatite after two years? Its not pumping over.

In power flushing bigger, stronger machines are better because:
- they are more likely to push through soft blocks
- can be used on large jobs, without needing another machine
- makes the job faster because it moves the sludge faster out of the system

I have the norstrom flush machine which has a 40 litre tank and I had a heating element fitted which comes in very handy when changing a boiler as you can feel for cold spots on rads and start hanging the boiler.
