How and Why to Flush Your Heating - Easy DIY 

Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video! 😊

Appreciated the explanation of the different cleaning products.

Thank you for sharing this video I appreciate your time 🙏🏻

Great video. Thanks so much.

Fantastic video thank you!

👍 Some very good tips - thanks. 😊

Best yet 👍

Get a £20 massage gun with the foam ball end and use that to vibrate the radiator, cheap alternative if you don't have an SDS or the attachment is too expensive.

10:28 i like how it has dual valves , incase one fails ,my combi boiler only has one on its refil loop which is pretty bad if it goes tits up

Really like this idea, I was thinking of getting one of the drain cocks open all the time and flushing the water through. Would I still need to turn off the thermostat and lock on each radiator in turn, I pressume to keep pressure up in that single radiator to remove the gunk?

I’ve got a combi boiler is the process the same by leaving the filler loop on and letting it get full whilst draining it? Do both lock-shield and trv need to be off or just the trv will be sufficient? Do you use just a normal drain off point for the water to just come out? I’ve only got one drain off point on a 15mm copper pipe by the front door will that work?

I wanted to ask if it is easy or difficult to install central heating as a beginner who has finished the 4 month school for hvac systems, where should we base ourselves

Despite having the ch system flushed when a new condensing boiler was installed I still need the pump on maximum speed to reach the required circulation for the boiler to function. Do you think using the x800 would help or do I need a powerflush?

Thanks for an informative video. When you've treated with X800 for an hour on full heat, we have a drain point at one of the radiators. Should we just drain the whole system and then refill the whole system? Not sure how to 'blast' one radiator at a time - what is the sequence exactly - are you sending refill water to one radiator at a time, then draining system each time and closing off to do the next radiator, before finally refilling the whole system?

I have underfloor heating as well as numerous radiators upstairs and down. Does this complicate things when attempting a system flush?

At 8:22 you talk about flushing both the flow and return as opposed to just one- is there anywhere else I can find information about this? Does this only apply to the radiator which is being used to drain down the system? This is the only bit I'm unsure about in your otherwise very informative and helpful video. I'm dealing with a very clogged up central heating system so I want to get it cleaned up as well as possible and this seems rather relevant to flushing as effectively as possible, if you could extrapolate on this I would appreciate it- I've not seen this mentioned anywhere else. Thanks.

Do you drain the system after finishing with the cleaning solution? You didn't specify but I'm assuming you would do this before adding the inhibitor unless I'm mistaken, please let me know.

Could I just add the inhibitor directly in to the magnaclean filter since I need to clean mine off anyway? let it pump around a bit then add whatever is left? Also, nice pipe work :)

My hot water is luke warm, what could be the cauad of this?

Brilliant Vid ! Are you a plumber by trade ?

my parents used to fluish their own, but it takes hours , cheaper to hire a pro to do it IMO, time is money and the pros add in the chemicals in

X800 is not recommended unless you thoroughly flush out.

Dare you to turn that pump valve off

Ive just had the gas people out, theyve quoted £850 to flush my radiators 😤

Although i applaud you on one hand, i would NEVER advise anybody to mains flush their own heating system for various reasons, yes, you might have some money, but just how good of a job are you actually doing without knowing the full ins and out of a heating system, plus, without having somebody check your system could actually stand up to mains pressure, you could cause more problems than your solve, thus needing and engineer to repair anyway. Like i said, informative, but not recommended

What the hell you got on your feet bro???
