I've had a couple of quotes now for a new CH system, and I thought the clean/cleanse/flush stage (basically, getting all the magnetite/sludge out of the system) would be done BEFORE the new boiler and rads get fitted. However, both guys have said they normally do it AFTER the new boiler and rads have been fitted, relying solely on the magnacleanse magnet to attract all the crud on your new system. The only explanation I was given is that when fitting the new pipework you get flux in the system so they prefer to clean it all out at the end.
This seems crazy to me. Surely you want all the crud out of the system BEFORE fitting a new bolier and rads, or else any sludge is going to have to make its way through all the new rads and pipework and possibly boiler before it hits the magnacleanse magnet. Even if the magnacleanse is fitted on the return to the boiler, it's still not going to get all the crud out is it. Why risk clogging things up in this way? What am I missing here?
