What is powerflush and why do you need it?
Powerflush is a chemical removal of filth from the central heating system. All central heating Systems need it every few years because if the dirt won’t be removed it might damage the boiler, pipes and radiators and cause blockades which will stop the heat coming into radiators. It also damages the pipes and radiators, however in some cases it might even lead to the need of boiler being replaced because it won’t work.
