What Are the Steps For Flushing Your Central Heating System?

Posted on: October 31st, 2011 No Comments

The first and most obvious step for flushing your central heating system is figuring out what type of problem you have in the first place. Or more precisely what type of blockage you have in your central heating.

The most common type of blockage is the physical type where deposits of dirt and debris eventually turn into a type of sludge that gathers at the bottom of your radiators. As these deposits grow in size you’ll eventually wind up with a radiator that’s so badly clogged that water can’t circulate through it anymore and the radiator itself becomes pretty much useless.

Then you have the issue of lime scale build up inside your radiators and boilers. Given enough time these will also cause your radiators to stop working but might also cause additional problems with your boiler because of the corrosive effects that lime scale can have on metal.

Once ADI engineers understand what the actual cause of the problem is then the next step is the actual flushing itself. This involves several pieces of equipment that are used to push a stream of low pressure and high velocity water through your entire heating system, including your radiators, to remove all traces of sludge or lime scale and to treat your water supply against further problems like this arising.
