What is a Powerflush?
A Powerflush is a cleansing process which aims to remove deposits of sludge, rust and any other debris from your central heating system.
Over time, these contaminants, if left, can seriously affect the efficiency of a heating system and, in severe cases, a powerflush could be the only option available. The water in your pipes, boiler and radiators deposits unwanted byproducts like rust. This rust (plus other dirt and debris) becomes an unpleasant, mud-like substance that professionals affectionately refer to as ‘sludge’. It accumulates in radiators, pipes and working parts such as pumps and diverter valves
Sludge in your heating system can cause to blockages and corrosion which will lead to both inefficiency and / or breakdown. In extreme cases it can be so damaging that a complete boiler replacement is needed.
Undertaking a powerlush can improve your systems efficiency by 30%, reducing both your carbon footprint and your energy bills

What is a Central Heating Filter?
A central heating filter is a device that sits permanently on the return feed of your heating system and contains both a powerful magnet and debris trap that continually filters the water flowing through your heating system removing sludge and other debris and providing ongoing protection.
Installing a magnetic filter will extend the working life of a boiler and and other critical components by many years if serviced regularly and used with a suitable inhibitor. Reducing sludge build up will also make your system more efficient reducing your average heating bill by 6% per annum.

Adey Limescale Filters
Hard water contains an average of 300mg of dissolved minerals per litre. A four person household could accumulate anything up to 70kg of limescale a year. A large volume can build-up throughout the secondary hot water system causing restrictions and blockages to the hot water supply.
British Water estimates that a 1.6mm coating of limescale on a heating element can make it up to 12% less effective. And, 6mm could reduce energy efficiency by 40% resulting in up to £200 in wasted energy a year.
Adey ElectroScale and MagnaScale are fit and forget solutions meets that meet the requirement in Part L of the Building Requirements for provision to be made to treat the feed water to water heaters and hot water circuits of combination boilers, reducing the rate of limescale accumulation.
