Power Flush Chemicals

[jaydebruyne]

So I've just ordered an Anton Flowclean Plus - which the specs say has a much higher flow rate than others and only for £780 including a plate heat exchanger adapter and hose extension kit.

Anyway, my question is: what are the best chemicals to use? I've used fernox but it really froths up - any recommendations?

Cheers

Do you have to use a neutraliser with these after you've cleaned the system?

I use Sentinel X800 for aluminium heat exchangers, although I understand that Vaillant are now saying nothing stronger than X300. It doesn't froth up to bad. For cast iron boilers I use Kamco FX2, that stuff is strong and really helps clear out a heating system. The FX2 has to be neutralised which does add time to a flush. X800 doesn't but I always test the water with a bit of PH paper to be on the safe side. I then use Kamco concentrate inhibitor.
