flushing a heating system with the ThroughFlush mains flushing kit.
I’ve finally got my hands on the Thorough flush kit to try out flushing a heating system with. This system uses just mains water to completely flush and clean a full central heating system and the results speak for themselves. I also connect it to the Adey MagnaCleanse unit to catch the magnitite that is flushed out the system.

Sold. Sold solddd. 😂. Mate, how is this free. Eternally greatful to all these amazing engineers on youtube sharing this ridiculously vast amount of knowledge. Half my old bosses where incredibly stingy with sharing knowledge and helping with development. I know it's a two way street, but them people just want a slave, not an apprentice. You're empowering people, educating, helping them to go on and make something of themselves. If i ever see you I'm buying you a drink!

Nice bit of kit to flush heating systems my heating system is 46 years old and has always had Fernox inhibitor and have had no issues at all and congrats to Aaron for winning the nerrad tap kit

@MJTiffPlumbing Год назад

Hi Mark. Cracking video as always. I use a power flush machine and I integrate the Adey Kitt onto it. Not cheap, but does a really good clean.

@getbry7452 Год назад

Cheers for the vid, mate 👏🏻 I think most heating engineers might recommend a Spirotech air seperator should be part of the heating system to remove tiny bubbles of air which reacts with the water and the various metals which causes magnetite. No air should negate the need for chemicals. I think even Veissmann have it written in their boiler manual *not* to add inhibitor into the system! See you on the next one.

@Big_Old_Bondy Год назад

Dang, it says that in the Viessmann manual! Only just learning in this video about inhibbitor. Think I'll probly still use it for now until I learn more

@MJTiffPlumbing Год назад

Indeed Bri….. airiators are a great thing to be fitting into systems. Yep I think Viessmann are pro water only…

@stuarttthomas7847 Год назад

@@MJTiffPlumbing I guess it makes sense but for the homeowner who can do it, you can understand overdosing a system because they aren't going to want half a bottle for the next 10 years (over exaggerated obvs)....for the pro that can calculate the correct amount it is a no brainer

@jasonsimpson3348 Год назад

@sergiofernandez3725 Год назад

Would that work on an F&E system? Is it possible to connect the power flush to the top of the radiator by removing the bleed valve and cap at the other end? Loved the idea of putting the magna clean on the exhaust water

@henryeadie7972 Год назад

Dont boiler warranties require Inhibitor to be used and proof provided with one of those Ady Pro Check kits?

@MJTiffPlumbing Год назад

Yep some do as its a big industry, always check the MI’s. However there is a shift coming in this as putting chemicals into water can cause reactions which is never a good thing to have as it’s causes corrosion due to a reaction releasing air.

@gardgas1 Год назад

I like the idea of the thorough-flush, as sometimes, as we all know, a mains flush will be hard to beat, especially used in conjunction with a Magnacleanse. I looked at the thorough-flush, but decided to make a manifold myself for about £30 that does exactly the same job, granted it looks nowhere near as good as that, but it's simply a few components that all of us engineers work ith on a near daily basis. Keep up with the great and informative videos 👍

@tomstrutton4351 Год назад

So on an older open vented system you’d probably not wanna risk using this right? Too much pressure on old pipes you reckon?

@julianmcafee5976 Год назад

@paulsmith2931 Год назад

All the boiler manufactures want the system clean and inhibitor in the system now to keep the boiler under warranty, and most boilers have a ten year warranty, and it is a legal requirement now since June that when you have a boiler serviced you must check the water quality, all the test kits pick up wether there’s inhibitor in the system or not, did you give the customer the water quality results from you Adey test kit at the end of the job, which would say inhibitor is recommended? Personally after carrying out that job I would have dosed it with inhibitor.

@MJTiffPlumbing Год назад

Yep indeed if it’s in the MI’s then you’ve got your hands tied. However that doesn’t mean it’s right, and as the “chemical industry” is worth so much they will push for this, however it is beginning to change. Pros and cons to the whole debate which is set to run for a while yet.

@johnnyfandango1625 Год назад

Is that Pocket 2 Thermal image camera any good? I'm surprised Thoroughflush and Hikmicro didn't give you a discount link as you are promoting their products. They both look good. We have been doing mains flushes for years as I personally prefer it on systems that are not too bad.

@MJTiffPlumbing Год назад

Chemicals only really used in the UK is because of the water quality. Hard water areas would need chemicals in water due to minerals etc. If youve clean soft water, no chemicals would be needed. Chemicals also help with heating systems do decrease the evaporation process that we all get in summer months and heating not on.

If you know how to use the valves under the boiler and are smart about where to add a extra drain point you can do what this does (minus the reverse flow) using the pipes on the wall and the filling loop so its not really such a great buy...

If it's a sealed system it doesn't need it (unless warranty related). Any corrosion that takes place (minimal), will stop once the oxygen in the water is converted to oxide. Open vent on the other hand its essential. I've never used inhibitor in my system which I installed 20 years ago and the water is crystal clear, with no sludge deposits in the rads. The Euros have got it right with VDI. Don't start me on filters 😂 money making racket

@MJTiffPlumbing Год назад

@lewbaker Год назад

I think a lot of the chemical vs not comes down to ideal vs reality, ideally a heating system should be free of contamination and oxygen so corrosion in the system will be pretty low, but in reality it's just not the case. A lot of systems are gonna let oxygen in with small leaks and not everyone keeps on top of bleeding out rads, some people have pretty suspect water quality especially old tank fed systems and there's the hard water issue in a large portion of the country. Yeah ideally we shouldn't have to use the chemicals, but in reality unless it's a brand spanking new system with great water quality it's gonna need some help, especially when it comes to cheap landlords who don't wanna fix anything or elderly customers who had no idea a rad valve has been leaking for 5 years letting air into the system.
