Radiator Power Flushing: Why Your Heating System Needs It Now

If your radiators are cold at the bottom, your boiler is noisy, or your heating bills are rising, your central heating system might be clogged with sludge. At Poms Plumbing, we provide professional radiator power flushing using the MagJex Power Flushing System — the industry-leading solution for restoring your heating system's performance, efficiency, and lifespan.


What Is Radiator Power Flushing?

Power flushing is a specialist cleaning process designed to remove built-up sludge, rust, and debris from your heating system. Over time, this internal buildup restricts water flow, reduces heat output, and can damage your boiler and radiators.

Using the MagJex system, we flush powerful chemical cleaners through your radiators, pipes, and boiler to eliminate internal grime — restoring smooth operation and better energy efficiency.


Benefits of Power Flushing

Radiator power flushing offers several long-term benefits:

  • Faster heating and more even radiator temperatures

  • Lower energy bills due to improved efficiency

  • Extended boiler life by removing internal stress and damage

  • Reduced system noise, including banging or kettling

  • Cleaner water and reduced corrosion risk


Signs You Need a Power Flush

Not sure if your system needs flushing? Here are the most common signs:

  • Radiators slow to heat or cold at the bottom

  • Discoloured water when bleeding radiators

  • Noisy boiler or pipes (gurgling, banging)

  • Constant boiler pressure drops

  • Leaking or rusty radiators

  • Uneven heat distribution

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to act — before your system suffers a breakdown.


Why Choose the MagJex Power Flushing System?

At Poms Plumbing, we only use the MagJex Power Flushing System, known for its high-efficiency flow, magnetic filtering, and gentle but thorough cleaning. Here’s what makes it superior:

  • Magnetic filtration captures harmful metallic debris

  • High-flow, low-pressure operation prevents pipework damage

  • Chemical cleaning removes limescale, sludge, and corrosion

  • Final rinse and inhibitor treatment protect against future buildup


When Should You Get a Power Flush?

We recommend power flushing:

  • Every 5–7 years for maintenance

  • Before installing a new boiler (often a warranty requirement)

  • After major heating system work

  • When buying an older property

  • At the first signs of reduced heating performance


Don’t Delay — Sludge Will Only Get Worse

Ignoring radiator sludge can lead to:

  • Full system blockages

  • Costly boiler repairs or replacement

  • Increased energy bills

  • System inefficiency and inconsistent heating

Act now to protect your home and save money. Power flushing isn’t just a repair — it’s a long-term investment in your heating system.
