my name's Alan Hart and today we're
00:00:03.619 00:00:03.629 going to talk about powerful shoot so
00:00:05.749 00:00:05.759 I've got my new power flush machine here
00:00:07.849 00:00:07.859 and we've got combi boiler so what I'm
00:00:10.910 00:00:10.920 gonna do is I'm gonna do a power flush
00:00:12.799 00:00:12.809 on a combi boiler system so what we've
00:00:16.550 00:00:16.560 done they've put some T's impact work
00:00:20.029 00:00:20.039 here and first of all what I'm gonna do
00:00:22.670 00:00:22.680 is I'm gonna connect onto these T's with
00:00:25.250 00:00:25.260 the pole flush machine and then we're
00:00:27.290 00:00:27.300 going to flush it through we're gonna
00:00:29.120 00:00:29.130 heat the water up with a heater on it
00:00:32.240 00:00:32.250 now we're gonna see how long that takes
00:00:33.799 00:00:33.809 to warm up so this is all now it's cold
00:00:37.010 00:00:37.020 at the moment it's been off for a while
00:00:39.830 00:00:39.840 so I muchos this cold and then we'll see
00:00:42.470 00:00:42.480 how we go so so we've got filtered on
00:00:47.029 00:00:47.039 this so it's gonna be very easy just to
00:00:50.540 00:00:50.550 drill it down so first of all we're just
00:00:53.090 00:00:53.100 gonna up pressure out of it so normally
00:01:09.980 00:01:09.990 if you've got a combi boiler and you've
00:01:12.350 00:01:12.360 got your pipes coming down underneath
00:01:13.550 00:01:13.560 you combi boiler it maybe you want to
00:01:16.460 00:01:16.470 just cut some teasing things up flow and
00:01:19.190 00:01:19.200 return and then that way you can just
00:01:21.320 00:01:21.330 flush from that you can also get a
00:01:25.490 00:01:25.500 flushing adapter for the pump so then
00:01:28.370 00:01:28.380 you can just flush down at me from the
00:01:29.990 00:01:30.000 pump so I've done here I've just got
00:01:35.060 00:01:35.070 some push fit fittings and I'm
00:01:37.280 00:01:37.290 connecting my pipes onto it maybe just
00:01:40.520 00:01:40.530 push fit your speed fit normally
00:01:43.240 00:01:43.250 because you can just check a buck off
00:01:45.410 00:01:45.420 afterwards and you can reuse them so I
00:01:48.770 00:01:48.780 like to use speed fit so what connectors
00:01:52.370 00:01:52.380 all these wants of this now so as we can
00:01:55.310 00:01:55.320 see there was connected as floor
00:01:56.749 00:01:56.759 returned good as blue hoses and they
00:01:59.840 00:01:59.850 connect on Sat powerfullest machine
00:02:01.310 00:02:01.320 there
00:02:02.770 00:02:02.780 so these valves at the top we're going
00:02:04.999 00:02:05.009 to turn off
00:02:07.370 00:02:07.380 so they would normally be for this dump
00:02:09.980 00:02:09.990 so I'm starting to dump the water out of
00:02:12.770 00:02:12.780 it then we've got a spilling point there
00:02:17.590 00:02:17.600 on this I'm just gonna use boiler so I'm
00:02:20.570 00:02:20.580 just going to fill in the pot boiler
00:02:22.010 00:02:22.020 just for demonstration of this in there
00:02:28.430 00:02:28.440 that's what we put chemicals with plug
00:02:32.240 00:02:32.250 does pump into that one and then we plug
00:02:36.350 00:02:36.360 the heater in to this one separately so
00:02:42.350 00:02:42.360 on this it's got a filling loop here so
00:02:45.040 00:02:45.050 I'm gonna go for now is just thought the
00:02:47.479 00:02:47.489 June up by doing that
00:02:50.520 00:02:50.530 and they now put water in machine took a
00:02:54.150 00:02:54.160 while so when we lock up machine he's
00:02:58.590 00:02:58.600 got a minimum fine and it's got a
00:03:00.930 00:03:00.940 maximum fight in there and then this
00:03:03.540 00:03:03.550 connection here this is the other floor
00:03:05.910 00:03:05.920 so if it's that sleep wire out come out
00:03:08.760 00:03:08.770 of here so obviously if you had it in
00:03:11.210 00:03:11.220 the tub that comes with double flow into
00:03:14.880 00:03:14.890 that are you can expose back to that as
00:03:17.730 00:03:17.740 well so we can see here now the levels
00:03:21.000 00:03:21.010 going up and up if I can just see it
00:03:22.320 00:03:22.330 there and just see what Oliver was going
00:03:24.840 00:03:24.850 up so we're back here now so we're
00:03:28.110 00:03:28.120 probably gonna get it about half way so
00:03:32.180 00:03:32.190 we've got the water there now just above
00:03:34.890 00:03:34.900 half and then what we're gonna do now
00:03:50.479 00:03:50.489 and we'll see how long that takes
00:03:58.190 00:03:58.200 so then you'd put your chemicals in so
00:04:01.320 00:04:01.330 you can put whatever brand of chemicals
00:04:03.270 00:04:03.280 you like in so for today we've got this
00:04:05.789 00:04:05.799 on life slugs remover from nostril so
00:04:11.160 00:04:11.170 we're gonna put that in but you could
00:04:13.259 00:04:13.269 use fur knocks you could use Sentinel
00:04:15.060 00:04:15.070 our ad that I'll go are very good for
00:04:18.270 00:04:18.280 powerful shin
00:04:22.600 00:04:22.610 so just while we're waiting for that now
00:04:24.800 00:04:24.810 to warm up so how this will work is
00:04:29.200 00:04:29.210 you've got your flow returned here
00:04:31.450 00:04:31.460 little go into central heating system so
00:04:35.270 00:04:35.280 what you can do is you can isolate
00:04:36.320 00:04:36.330 underneath the boiler and then this will
00:04:39.290 00:04:39.300 go around all your heating all your
00:04:41.030 00:04:41.040 heating system so if you've got ten rats
00:04:43.310 00:04:43.320 for instance then you can flush around
00:04:46.250 00:04:46.260 all you turn rats so normally what I do
00:04:48.770 00:04:48.780 is and up not radius so go run while you
00:04:52.850 00:04:52.860 ready isn't house I'd open them all I'm
00:04:56.540 00:04:56.550 gonna put your chemicals in and I push
00:04:58.070 00:04:58.080 it round and then once you flushed it
00:05:00.650 00:05:00.660 all around you can then go do the red
00:05:02.960 00:05:02.970 airs individually so then how you'll do
00:05:06.170 00:05:06.180 it then he's just doing one at a time so
00:05:08.570 00:05:08.580 flush one rat go turn the next run on
00:05:11.540 00:05:11.550 and then turn the last run off so you've
00:05:14.480 00:05:14.490 just always got warm Brad opened at the
00:05:17.240 00:05:17.250 same time so it's coming up a bit now
00:05:23.270 00:05:23.280 it's temperature we're just over 20
00:05:25.010 00:05:25.020 degrees one thing I will say is it's
00:05:28.100 00:05:28.110 always gonna be better to use the boiler
00:05:30.740 00:05:30.750 if possible to get heat insert system so
00:05:34.400 00:05:34.410 if you can fire your old boiler up
00:05:37.150 00:05:37.160 before get all the heating system long
00:05:40.610 00:05:40.620 then that would that would be much
00:05:42.650 00:05:42.660 better and make it a bit quicker because
00:05:46.670 00:05:46.680 obviously doing it with an electric
00:05:47.930 00:05:47.940 element is going to sit longer so I'm
00:05:52.310 00:05:52.320 not going to connect the magnet lens in
00:05:54.560 00:05:54.570 on this one but quickly I'll just show
00:05:57.260 00:05:57.270 you what I've done as I've made a
00:05:59.690 00:05:59.700 male-male connection and this side is
00:06:03.230 00:06:03.240 inch and this side is free quarter and
00:06:05.870 00:06:05.880 then they will easily connect the magnet
00:06:09.200 00:06:09.210 lens so the power flush machine because
00:06:11.600 00:06:11.610 the hoses for the magnet lens a one inch
00:06:15.970 00:06:15.980 connections and the connection far
00:06:18.680 00:06:18.690 they're powerful machines free quarter
00:06:21.070 00:06:21.080 so that connection I'll just make it
00:06:23.480 00:06:23.490 really easy so the poles machine is now
00:06:26.810 00:06:26.820 about sixty degrees so now that means
00:06:30.920 00:06:30.930 that tub or water in there has heated up
00:06:33.680 00:06:33.690 to sixty degrees
00:06:35.310 00:06:35.320 so now we're going to set up our first
00:06:36.750 00:06:36.760 machine on so there's just now
00:06:44.700 00:06:44.710 water
00:06:46.680 00:06:46.690 around your heating system
00:06:48.270 00:06:48.280 [Music]
00:06:52.750 00:06:52.760 so at the moment that one's worn and
00:06:55.810 00:06:55.820 that one's cold so I thought while I was
00:06:58.240 00:06:58.250 going in there and it's going around the
00:07:00.580 00:07:00.590 heating system so you can if you want
00:07:05.650 00:07:05.660 put a very clean in your drill and you
00:07:10.090 00:07:10.100 can go across bottom up radios with it
00:07:11.820 00:07:11.830 you just need to be careful not to chip
00:07:14.730 00:07:14.740 pitting off red ears and then what you
00:07:18.850 00:07:18.860 do is do that one really at a time and
00:07:21.280 00:07:21.290 just go around until all your radio as a
00:07:23.230 00:07:23.240 click you can also on your powerful
00:07:26.770 00:07:26.780 shushing reverse the floor change it the
00:07:32.350 00:07:32.360 other way and that'll help with cleaning
00:07:35.530 00:07:35.540 the system as well so once you've
00:07:38.890 00:07:38.900 flushed all around with chemicals then
00:07:41.860 00:07:41.870 what you need to do is you need to get
00:07:43.090 00:07:43.100 that water out of the system so what you
00:07:46.630 00:07:46.640 do is you turn your hose pipe on and
00:07:49.380 00:07:49.390 that hose pipe would be putting clean
00:07:52.900 00:07:52.910 cold water into this tub and then what
00:07:56.620 00:07:56.630 you do is you'd open one of these bowls
00:07:58.840 00:07:58.850 here and these bowls would allow the
00:08:03.430 00:08:03.440 water to dump out of the system so then
00:08:07.150 00:08:07.160 what you'd be getting you've been clean
00:08:08.380 00:08:08.390 water going in and you'll be getting
00:08:10.330 00:08:10.340 dirty water coming out and then you do
00:08:12.670 00:08:12.680 that until until that room clear and
00:08:15.070 00:08:15.080 then what you do is you go to your next
00:08:16.360 00:08:16.370 radiator and you do it again and you do
00:08:19.240 00:08:19.250 that with all the rest of the radius on
00:08:21.250 00:08:21.260 the system until the system is cleaned
00:08:23.850 00:08:23.860 so there's lots of different ways to do
00:08:26.470 00:08:26.480 a powerful machine there's lots of
00:08:28.300 00:08:28.310 different types of systems there's
00:08:31.900 00:08:31.910 different configurations so we're
00:08:34.090 00:08:34.100 connecting in all different ways so this
00:08:36.700 00:08:36.710 just gives you an example of a power
00:08:39.310 00:08:39.320 flush and this is an easy one because
00:08:42.280 00:08:42.290 you can get to our pipe work and it's
00:08:44.290 00:08:44.300 nice and easy so I hope that was of some
00:08:47.890 00:08:47.900 use and thanks for watching
