Discuss REMS Solar push or a KAMCO power flush unit HELP ME CHOOSE in the Plumbing Tools area at PlumbersForums.net

Ive looked at the tech specs and it seems that the REMS has a lower flow rate but higher pressure at 5.5 bar. the Kamco has a higher flow rate so i understand that will be best for flushing a dirty system, however its maximum pressure of flow is under 2 bar. I wish to use a mashine for flushing dirty boiler systems and most importantly also for filling and venting Air Source heat pump systems with antifreese or other similar systems. Im stumped to understand the possible compromises between the 2 systems.

Is there any problem with using the Kamco with lower pressure and a high flow rate with filling a system and bleeding the air and getting the glycol mix right? anyone know?

Does the REMS at half the flow rate do a reasonable job of cleaning systems too?

these are so expensive i gotta get it right.

thanks
 
I would be concerned about the 5.5 bar pressure going through old systems.
You will be replacing a lot of radiator valves, quite a few panels and finding burst joints behind walls and under floors.
