How to gauge the quality of a powerflush service

    I'd like to replace my old boiler but want to get my central heating system power flushed first.

    What should I be asking for to make sure of getting the best power flush for my central heating system i.e. type of machine, chemicals used etc.

    A quick google suggests a Norstrom machine with heating & magnetic filters appear to be good. Also Magnaclean powerflush machines have good feedback.

    Is it best to do both on one day or should I get the power flush done first, get a Magnaclean filter fitted for a few weeks before getting the new boiler fitted?

    Any advice & recommendations welcome.

    A power flush with nothing less than a power flushing pump twinned with a magnetic filter. A magnacleanse depends on the boilers pump to circulate which in my opinion is a waste of time In regards to chemicals -sentinel, Fernox, kamco, adey,
