ABOUT THOROUGHFLUSH

Over the past 10 years working as a heating engineer, I have experienced first-hand the issues we face in the UK caused by poor water quality and corrosion in domestic heating systems.

Due to this, flushing heating systems is a task I perform on a regular basis. However, in doing so, I am never quite satisfied with the results. I have struggled to find a method that produces the water quality I expect with the efficiency I require.

For the first few years, I power flushed every installation I was completing but found this to be either overkill for new systems, or too time consuming and customers were not willing to pay for this method. Whilst results were good, this wasn’t an ideal method for day to day flushing.

I then started using a magnet method. However, on completion of a system flush, the water quality was not as I expected. This was possibly due to the fact that the water was only circulating in only one direction, and also that only magnetic contamination was being removed.

From there, I moved to using mains water to flush and found this much more effective. Despite this, I still felt better results could be achieved if the water was diverted around the system to create reverse flow. Swapping hoses over was just too awkward and the risk of water spillage was high.

I began to wonder if there was an answer which could resolve these issues and make every day flushing much easier. From there, I designed a device that combined the successful elements of flushing and resolved the issues I often experienced. This new device could instantly change flow direction, causing turbulence within radiators. This allowed all contamination to be disturbed, and therefore removed, whilst running off the mains water supply.

The Thoroughflush has now been used on many systems, old and new. The results are amazing in the short time it takes to complete a system flush.

Whilst preventing corrosion remains a challenge, improving water quality quickly and effectively is now much more achievable. I believe flushing systems out to a high standard and following modern water treatment methods will benefit the homeowner and help our industry greatly.

Always struggled to flush effectively, the Throughflush has made it so much easier for us, so much smaller than our conventional unit and in my opinion works better and fast.
Highly recommended

I have used the thoroughflush 4 times now and I must say it’s an amazing price of kit to have. I used to use my Powerflush machine but with the thoroughflush it makes the job alot quicker for setting up and even flushing the system.
If the pressure is there then this is the way to go with cleaning the system. You get everything you’ll need on the order to flush a system out and it’s really easy to use.

Recommend a agitator with this for cleaning the system for maximum results.

I started my heating career doing only power flushes for a local plumber. I was doing about 3 a week but soon learnt there had to be a better way. Doing a mucky system in one day is difficult & needs aggressive acid. After my first few months of doing them I had already started dosing a couple of weeks before flushing. Even then you are left with not much pressure from the machine & its best attribute is to alternate the flow to shift the sludge. Even this wasn’t brilliant. I moved on to mains flushing using various hoses from a tap and hoses from Flow & Return. This worked so much better (although it got messy with swapping hoses over to mains flush one way then the other) that I looked into making something more permanent. As with life in general I never got around to it – and then I found this from Thoroughflush. It’s simply the dogs goolies. It’s so compact cost effective & so well made. You can crank the flows direction without removing any hoses and it’s just the simplest thing to use. This knocks spots of a traditional flusher and laughs at a magnet using the boiler pump! Put your cleanser in a week or so prior and this will remove the sludge so fast you can hardly believe it. I love how it’s so small. Comes with all the attachments and ample pipe. I have only used it the once so far and can see the value in the clever idea straight away. Its four yes’s from me!

So, after using the Thoroughflush a few times now I can categorically state there is NO better way to mains flush a heating system, being able to switch direction at the flick of a switch is a game changer.
