HEATING SYSTEM CLEANER.. Which was BEST? PART 2 | Mains Water Flush 

Part 2…… let’s see what the Thorough Flush unit gets out the system

Man it’s so hard to find good plumbers and heating engineers. They are literally one in a million. Even when they say they’re experienced they do things wrong. You’re doing a good job mate.

The customer will definitely feel the difference, that system will work like the first day it was installed. That Thoroughflush is the DB. I should invest in a set up like yours for sure. I don't mind an extra long vlog, personally.

Hi Mark made my own water mains flush with copper pipe and lever valves with reverse flow and reverse dump valves pressure reducer, and none return valve using my kamco hoses and magnets works a treat cost £70 materials and a bit of my time, works a treat, keep up the good work mate.

Big Difference with the mains flush, That’s a must, 2 videos is easy to watch, hard to sit and keep watching after 30 minutes, Good video Mate, great to see a system flush done right and not rushed 👍👍🤜

I started with a magnacleanse and wasn't happy with the results. I purchased the Thoroughflush to combine as you have here. Its bang on! Cheaper then a flush machine and a whole lot easier to transport aswell!

Having two parts breaks it up so more enjoyable and not to long, great job, nice to see the outcome.

I’ve learnt a lot from you mark, top work! I also have a Thoroughflush. I wouldn’t even waste a day on the magnaclean, treat a week before with f8 then spend the day with the Thoroughflush 👌🏻👌🏻

I like the fact you show such a wide range of different plumbing scenarios. I’ve thought about investing in a power flush machine in the past but didn’t for the very reasons you mentioned about blowing off fittings with pressure too high etc and Murphy law would suggest it would be under a tiled floor or something. Great video thanks Mark. Very informative stuff.

Great video and showing us the difference between the two cleaning systems. Very well done. Thanks as always.

Hi Mark. Watch both videos. It’s a lot of work but the results are definitely worth it. I am not plumber but all that muck in the system can’t help the boiler worth probably. Good job Mark as always. I like the two videos mate but you do what works for you. I appreciate what ever you put mate. 👍

Great video Mark really interesting. Two videos do work there is so much involved doing what you’ve done. I’m considering having that done but concerned to find a good plumber like you are most plumbers registered to do this job or what shall I look out for? Thanks again.

Two videos or one. Doesn't matter to me. Just binge watched them both 😂😂. Love the thorough flush. It's on my wish list 👍👍

A double dose of Tiff my life is complete!! You started the video talking about sinks when I thought it was about central heating but it was a different type of sync 🤣🤣

Hi Mark, A brilliant flush and clean for that customers system. I have always been a fan of the Adey products coupled with the thoroughflush it’s a force to be reckoned with. The evidence was on the magnets and in the dipstick test. It settled my ocd a treat, I enjoyed the two part film but for me whatever suits you the best is fine. Have a great week and as always take care, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍

The powerflush was certainly worth the time and effort on this job

Evening Mark. Interesting results with the thorough flush! I think the setup you've got with the 2 flushing units coupled together is probs the way to go for best result. As for the video in 2 parts, it's a nice change to have something to watch on a Monday, but whatever works best for you mate it's your channel 👍

Great result with the Thoroughflush Mark. I actually prefer the video in 2 halves, was something to look forward to on a Monday 😊

Really enjoyed the two videos mate. I prefer the two videos instead of one long one mate👍 Also impressed with the kit. Well worth the money mate. Just another string yo your bow I like your work ethics mate pity you are not in Essex. 👍👍

Super clean system now 👍

Cracking result and a thorough job. That system will be so much more efficient now 👍

So satisfying!

Great video as always. As for being 2 parts I’m not sure cause I’m always looking forward to outcome. But saying that I enjoy them I would watch second part. I’m one of these people can’t watch series week after week I wait till finished series then watch all at once. But always learning so keep the good work coming 👍👍

Great second vid fella . What would be a great addition is to show the subscribers the airing cupboard & pipework configuration especially on an open vented system as most people know what the combi set out is like. Its harder to flush I found especially with a 3 port as they can be very restrictive when it's set to manually open. Something I also did was to cut in a gate valve on the cylinder return if possible if not on the flow so you can isolate the cylinder , that way you can flush that circuit a bit like a rad!! If that all makes sense . I used to find the open vent & cold feed connections by the pump were always problematic & most often partially blocked causing pumping over, resulting on boiler cycling pump failure etc. I appreciate the younger lads want to make everything a sealed system now & it is the way to go & easier. However as you know there's still shed loads of open vent systems out there. What you've done for that customer will bring her bills down & improve the efficiency no end. I am super Impressed with the thorough flush unit & a great benefit to have, i was shocked how much sludge it moved compared to the magna cleanse &, love the way you've lower the mains pressure, as open vent systems can with pipes emb3dded in solid floors can be exposed with too much pressure going through them. Something the young guys seem to forget until its too late!!!! I do like the 2 parter vids as it keeps you guessing what the outcome will be. Look forward to the next one up 👍

What a cracking piece of kit , defo going on the Xmas list, I think personally i would invest in the through flush first only because most houses have mag filters now, essentially you could of just dosed the chemical in the existing mag pot and left over night knowing u was coming the next day to through flush,would of saved some time, but a superb clean u done there to say the least , pukka work as usual mate , very impressive 👍

Brilliant 2 videos Mark, wished you were local to me. Dennis from Barnsley.

Great video 👍 good to see both done on the same system. Not something you usually see. Begs the question is mains pressure better than any cleaning products?

I don't mind a long video for watching you tube in bed on a Sunday night pretending Monday ain't coming. 😂 That thorough flush lives up to its name great piece of kit.

Very interesting video! Iv got a question though, if you’ve got say 1 bar going in, and its got to climb upstairs and to the last rad, would it be fair to say that by the time it gets there you’ve probably only got half a bar of pressure to push any sludge? I can’t help thinking a power flush is a better machine?

Thanks, I enjoyed both videos. From the customer point of view your work and time spent is superb but what would a job like this cost? Are quotes for a power flush only with a magnaclean at nearly £400 for 3.5 hrs just a waste of money? This wouldn’t have included working each radiator either.

Hi Mark! Very good and useful video. Just wanted to know when you connect your thoroughflush do you connect it do the Magna clean points and isolate the boiler from flow and return? Thank you!

The 2 part video made a boring Monday evening so much better

Great job Mark I might invest in one of those 👍

I do fair bit of powerflushing with kamco cf 90 and kamco magnets. If I had to change it would probably be the throughflush

Hi Mark good video, I think the vibrating of the rads makes the biggest difference! where do you get you replacement test strips for the ProCheck they seem very expensive when I have looked for them.

I like 2 part videos, I know it makes no difference but feels like I’m getting extra 😂 Also, I’m amazed how much magnetite came out with the mains flush even after having the magna cleanse on it for hours the day before!

Great videos, just ordered one of these. Quick question is that a thermal imaging camera you use or app on a phone? Thanks

Hi Mark, great videos as always. I have just a couple of questions as I have both a Thoroughflush and a Magnacleanse like yourself. 1, In your honest opinion, do you think that if you'd have just introduced the cleaning chemicals a week before and then gone straight to the Thoroughflush on day one, that the result would have been any different ? It wasn't clear if you agitated the radiators on the Magnacleanse phase, did you? Cheers

that Thorough Flush is mad even after two cleaners used , like the part 1 and 2 idea also, would be good too see a vid on best inhibitors and cleaner too use also

Interesting mucky system another job well done i did enjoy this video in 2 parts and a change for a monday evening

Nice work fella......I also found the DHC 😂.....have a good week👍

Hi Mark amazing how much more you get out with the second flush can I ask what you charge cheers

Mark i Like that thorough flush kit Amazon as usual 😂 better than carrying them power flush machines cheers mate.

Looking at the results you got I would now reverse the process, 1st use the thoroughflush then 2nd stage use the MagnaFlush?

Good job. I hope there are some customer willing to pay me decent price to do such decent job.

Hi Mark, Great video can I ask which thermal imaging camera do u use please. Thank you.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks 😁

Either or, I’ll watch regardless mark 👍

This better than power flush unit?

Mark, would you always use both systems now or just do a flush ?, great results = happy Custer 👍

Is it cost effective flushing? Depending on the age of the rads I suggest it's cheaper to replace rads and empty the whole system to get rid of crud. Spent £850 on total rad replacement which stopped the 3 port valve clogging up every 6 months. Better energy efficiency too with new rads. How much is a system flush like that?

What thermal imaging camera do you use??

You should really drain radiators so there is only water in the bottom otherwise water just travels over the top and you will see a big difference in what comes out , sludge is heavier than water

You forgot to mention that with the Thoroughflush, you also banged the rads. Wonder how much extra crud would have come out if you banged the rads on MagnaCleanse cycle on day 1?.

Is that the house that had the fire a few years back? The room looks very similar to the one you worked on. I personally prefer the long videos on a Sunday 👍🏻 thanks again for the video mark 👌😊

Hi mark where did you get the fitting to go onto the camlock ?

What infrared camera you using pal?

Do you buy any particular lever valve brand?

What's a typical cost for this? Guessing it's different depending where you are in the country?

Just forward to 19.10

Amazing

Thought your not aloud to have a valve on the cold feed or vent pipe

Thourough flush is a nice idea but for me 10L/min of mains water is never going to match 150L/min from a power flush machine which you can also use chemicals and heat with.

When is trade legends restarting

👍👍

Great video as usual. Why are your hands not covered in black crap. Whenever I do this I always end up with black stains on my hands even when using gloves.

🤘😎🤘

A long video 7 days a week please
