Keep your heating system clean, efficient and reliable with a MagnaCleanse system flush
-
The MagnaCleanse system flush is a state of the art process which involves several key steps to ensure that your boiler, radiators, and pipes are free from sludge, debris, and other contaminants that can hinder performance. Here's a breakdown of what the process typically includes:
Chemical Cleaning: The initial step with a system cleanse is to introduce specific chemicals into the system that will break down sludge and scale. These chemicals are left to circulate, ensuring they reach all parts of the system before being flushed out.
Sludge Removal: After the initial cleaning, a MagnaCleanse filter system will be used to attract and capture any metal particles circulating in the system, these are a major culprit of boiler breakdowns and contribute to significant drops in system efficiency.
System Draining and Refilling: As part of the cleaning process, the system is then drained and flushed of its old, dirty water and refilled with fresh water. A powerful inhibitor is then added as a final level of protection to prevent corrosion and further sludge formation.
Overall, heating system cleaning is about ensuring the internal components of your heating system are free from contaminants that can impair performance. This thorough cleaning process helps maintain efficiency, extend the system's lifespan, and prevent unexpected breakdowns, ensuring your home stays warm and comfortable.

Keeping your heating system clean and free of sludge is essential for a few key reasons. First and foremost, efficiency is a major factor. When sludge builds up in your system, it can cause blockages and reduce the flow of water. This makes your boiler work much harder to heat your home, leading to higher energy bills. By regularly cleaning and maintaining your system, you ensure that it runs smoothly and efficiently, saving you money in the long run.
Another important reason is the prevention of breakdowns. Sludge is typically made up of rust, dirt, and debris that accumulate over time. If left unchecked, this sludge can cause serious damage to the expensive components of your heating system, such as the heat exchanger and the pump. This can lead to costly repairs or even the need for a complete boiler replacement. Regular cleaning helps to avoid these issues, ensuring that your system remains in good working order.
Additionally, a clean heating system provides better heat distribution throughout your home. Sludge can create cold spots in your radiators, meaning some rooms might not get as warm as others. By keeping your system clean, you ensure that heat is distributed evenly, making your home more comfortable.
Maintenance also extends the lifespan of your heating system. Just like any other appliance, regular upkeep is necessary to keep it running for as long as possible. A clean system is less likely to experience the wear and tear that can lead to early failure. Investing a little time and money in regular maintenance can save you from the significant expense of having to replace your heating system prematurely.
In summary, keeping your heating system clean and free of sludge is crucial for efficiency, cost savings, reliability, comfort, longevity, and health. Regular maintenance might seem like a hassle, but it’s a small price to pay for the benefits it brings.

Depending on your system type and the amount of sludge that has accumulated, this process usually takes between four hours and a full day.
Regardless of the scope of work needed, your system will be thoroughly assessed and you will be provided with a detailed quote before beginning the job.

Ageing Heating Systems: If your central heating system is several years old, it's likely to have built up a significant amount of sludge and sediment.
Heating Issues: If your radiators are taking longer to heat up, have cold spots, or are making unusual noises, a system flush can help resolve these issues.
Energy-Efficiency: If you're looking to reduce your energy consumption, a clean system operates more efficiently, which can lower your gas bill.
Uneven Heating: If some radiators are hot while others remain cold, this is often a sign of sludge buildup.
Dirty Water: When bleeding your radiators, if the water is dark and dirty, it's a clear sign that your system needs flushing.
Preventative Maintenance. Even if your system isn't showing obvious signs of distress, regular system flushes are a proactive way to maintain its health.
Extend the Lifespan of Your System: A clean systems last longer, reducing the need for costly repairs and replacements.
Investing in a system flush is a smart decision for any homeowner. It not only addresses current issues but also helps prevent future problems, ensuring your central heating system runs efficiently and effectively for years to come.
