Question

ndant corgi reg firms,is it effective,sometimes i get a little heat through my pipes after emptying and filling system,though on second startup nothing,just cold completely pipes.Cen Heating man who fitted new boiler 1 month ago -corgi reg- thinks flush will cure.im worried it will not cure.help plumbers please. Its a one pipe system,no radiators,just covers over pipes.

Answer 1

Look at the instructions for the boiler, find the commissioning page, it should say that the system has to be cleaned, if not powerflushed prior to starting, this means it should have been powerflushed within the price of the work, you will find that this is the reason they were cheap. British gas charge £600+ to powerflush, anybody else at least £200 cheaper, company I work for charge £300, they also powerflush every job, and install iron particle removers on every new boiler, it means other installers take a lot of work off us because so many do it on the cheap, but our systems don't have problems later, sorry but I suspect this is going to be an expensive lesson for you, because the installer won't come back and flush it for nothing, if they do, you are very lucky. Try having a word with corgi (although it is not a gas regulation) they may point you in the right direction, LISTEN UP people, if it is cheap, there is a reason for it! At risk of a violation for a rant, look in the benchmark procedure at the back of the instructions, or maybe a seperate blue book, titled Benchmark, if it is not filled in, or partly, or the figures are exactly the same as the figures on the data page of the instructions, they have not commissioned it properly.

Answer 2

check with the manufacturers of your boiler it maybe that the installer has invalidated your guarantee by not flushing the system correctly any installer working to best practice would of flushed your system as a matter of course if work is not carried out to manufacturers instructions you can call him back to do the job properly but if your installers that bad or you ask for a cheap job perhaps get a registered person to rectify

Answer 3

system should have been flushed when boiler changed,its expensive for flushing as the machine has to be watched and takes hours {labour time}

Answer 4

you don't need a flush ..you need a new system ..a one pipe system without rads is unheard of ..i have been a builder for over 40 years and never seen one ..get it done right long term its cheaper

Answer 5

Try and write your question correctly it does not make sense to us old guys, but I certainly know how to fix a boiler. Its up to you....
