Central Heating Sludge
You may have heard of ‘central heating sludge’ and wondered what that is and how it affects you. Over time, as a result of the constant flow of water, corrosive and unwanted materials accrue inside the central heating system. The constant flow of water causes rusting, leading to corrosive metallic debris known as iron oxide deposits to build up inside the pipes and radiators of the central heating system. The central heating sludge is the unwanted corrosive deposits.
Most central heating systems develop this sludge over time. The build up the central heating sludge leads to a detrimental reduction in efficiency within the central heating system. If you have noticed cold spots in your radiator, a noisy boiler or fluctuating water temperature, then you are suffering from a build up of this sludge in your systems. Not only could this mean inefficient heating and cold showers, but also higher gas bills and the eventual break down of your central heating system!
A Power Flush procedure is an effective way to remove the central heating sludge. Not only will a Power Flush have immediate results, it will assist the prevention of similar and further problems in the future. The sludge build up restricts good circulation of water inside the central heating systems. A power flushing machine is used to dislodge the central heating sludge by pumping water and a chemical cleansing agent into the systems at a high velocity and low pressure. Once the process is done and the unwanted sludge is removed and only clean water will remain inside the central heating systems. The service takes approximately 4-8 hours to complete and requires very minimal effort on your part.
