    Excel industries have them in their catalogue the spec would suggest it would be good enough for a semi-d or little larger. It is your standard generic power flush pump and tank.

    Thanks lads;)
    Jimjimt boss got me to pickup of those upto day, he was going to spend a bit more but none of the usual suspects had the likes of fernox etc exstock.
    Whats peoples views on combining the magnacleanse unit with the power flusher or is there a cheaper option that will give you similar results. IF the magnacleanse/powerflush unit is the best combo wheres the best prices on the magnacleanse.

    Did you get a fair deal ?
    Dont forget to let us know how the unit performs.

    As such the magnacleanse is a standalone unit and does not require to be attached to a power flush pump. I have one and so far so good.They are around 500 euros pending on the deal on the day. The secret to it is using the sds rubber mallet that comes with it. Make sure it comes with it.

    What I like about it is a one man job. Less of a worry of a rad popping and running down the stairs. :eek:

    How does it work on a drop system? Can't see the circulator lifting any of the bigger stuff, IMHO both need to be used in series

    I have not done a dropped system yet so will be interesting. I have it 2 months now. 4 systems cleaned and so far so good.

    One system was a right pig big doubles and sludge to the top. Expansion dipped into the f+e for 9 years.Pure brown water. It done the job. Most likely the tinniest boiler in ireland.

    Two more to do in Jan.
    I have a 7m circulator in the shed so I will clean it up and use it on jobs for a little boost.
