    I have never done a power flush before, have a house recently renovated, about 50% of house with all new piping and new radiators. The older section of house I would like to do a power flush. Is it worth doing just the older part or should I do the whole lot?



    The entire house is about 21 radiators and 12 are in the older section. Most companies seem to charge by the radiator but the system is zonde so could shut off some?

    If the new section has been connected to the older dirty system and the heating has been used for any amount of time, you can be guaranteed that the new section is contaminated to some degree.

    I’d fit a magnetic filter add a cleaning chemical let it cook for a couple of days and then determine the level of contamination when the chemical is removed, if you find your system is contaminated then the whole system requires treatment.
