Price for a power flush

[verdigrey]

Hi Guys ,
Does any one know if Power Flushs HAVE to have Hot water from boiler to clean rads properly or is cold water OK ,
Thanks .

Heats better, makes the cleaner work better, apparently.

It is better but not a necessity

Thanks Simon and Mfgs for quick replies , I would like to use hot water , but the existing System Boiler is leaking a little , and if I do it now the leak may get worse during the process . I am going to put a new boiler in soon , But if I wait until after I install it and flush it thru the new boiler I wonder if it may be bad for the boiler . Or I could disconnect the old boiler and flush pipe work etc with cold water & Chemicals BEFORE connecting the new boiler in .
Any thoughts ?

Have you got a magnacleanse you could use in tandem with the powerflush, that way it would stop any sludge getting into the new boiler. If not I would just powerflush the system when changing the boiler and do it cold.
