Magnetite (black iron oxide) is the number one contributor to central heating breakdowns. MagnaCleanse targets its removal, and combined with the implementation of ADEY’s Best Practice, provides an extremely effective solution for the ongoing protection of central heating systems.
The use of the MagnaCleanse kit delivers a fast and effective flushing process that removes the damaging black iron oxide magnetite and non-magnetic material from central heating systems.
A MagnaCleanse Flush is an essential procedure that removes rust build-up and sludge from your central heating system. The flushing unit is made up of 2 large and powerful magnets and hoses which get connected to your heating system, normally where your central heating filter is connected. If you do not currently have a system filter, we highly recommend having one installed so as to continue protecting your system after your MagnaCleanse Flush. We will do this at a slightly discounted rate when it's combined with the flushing service.
During cooler periods, a chemical cleaner is added to your system, ideally up to 28 days before your flush is scheduled for. By adding the chemical well in advance we can maximise the effectiveness of the chemical. During warmer periods, we will add a more concentrated chemical with faster reaction times.
A MagnaCleanse is not your traditional power flush which sends water at a high velocity throughout the heating system pipes. A MagnaCleanse will use the power of your existing heating system to heat and pump the water and chemicals around your radiators.
If you have an open vented heating system, this is the older style system where you have a small Feed and Expansion Tank in your loft, some temporary modifications will have to be made to the pipework during the day of the flush and we will require access to your loft space to make these modifications. We will also clean out the Feed and Expansion tank during the process.
At CB7 Oil & Gas, we prefer to use our Adey MagnaCleanse as opposed to a traditional Power Flush machine, due to the decrease in water wastage and the reduced stress on older pipework.
