Powerflushing: Fighting the Cause and Effects of Sludge

The invention of the powerflushing system has been vital in the battle against sludge in central heating systems. Sludge, which is an iron oxide, is a buildup caused by the reaction between the steel in the radiators and heated water when pumped through the system. The sludge settles in the radiators and causes blockages, resulting
