    English law not ours and he says chemically treated or powerflushed.


    Just think power flushing is only needed on sludged up systems. On most normal flushing is fine.

    If the boiler fails due to sludge, then no warranty! It is on the way here also. Whether installers will obey or take their chances will be another thing.

    So how do you know if a system has sludge or not?
    A little, a lot? Enough to affect the boiler? Enough to displace the warranty?
    Why do think all manufacturers and the UK regulatory bodies have gone to great lengths to ensure that a system is left clean, whether by power or not but the key is clean?
    I just powerflushed a system last week where the installer put in a new boiler before Christmas. He said the system was not that bad. My thermal image camera said different & the Powerflushing magnet was completely caked after the flush.
