Flushing with Pellets

[RoryD]

I'm seeing PowderFlush advertising their business with this new (to me) technique. I've tried to google where to source pellets from, indeed tried unsuccessfully to find any data/ instructions with which to familiarise myself with but to no avail. Can anyone offer help on this subject?

Yikes! That's expensive. Must be quite hard on pipework etc, you'd want to be certain you got it all out.

Your not that far off the price of re-piping especially if you used MLCP or similar.

I followedup by googling the business which doean't have a phone number (on google at any rate) and the photo there is on a council estate somewhere. There's a lot of advertising gone down for this business with big claims. None of the major companies as far as I'maware, are doing this and I seriously have to question the viability of the whole concept!

No phone number on the site eirther, none of the videos are very compelling rinse water round a bowl you would have added chemicals first before doing power flush and i cant see how you could guarantee that all their powder/pellets have been removed from the system. also do they also flush boiler i wouldnt imagine any manufacturers have been approached about any damage.

Think they're a bit unrealistic on their repiping estimate 6k for 10 rad repipe!

If it's as aggressive as they claim whats it going to do to seals and soft goods in valves?

Wise words from @Gasmk1 - going to be an expensive warranty claim if you don't get all the abrasive out.
