Using a CLEARFLOW TM pump to power flush a heating system
Attachment of the CLEARFLOW to a heating
system may be made by several different
methods, the choice of which will depend
on accessibility and practicality:
1. Across the system circulator pump
couplings, after removal of the pump.
A set of adaptor leads is included with
every CLEARFLOW pump.
2. Using the CP2 adaptor (an optional extra)
to connect onto the body of the system
circulator pump, after removing the electric
motor. This is the preferred method when
flushing combi boiler systems, as the plate
heat exchanger (primary water side) can
also be power flushed without removal
from the boiler.
3. Across the flow and return connections at
the boiler, effectively isolating the boiler
itself, the preferred method when flushing
a system prior to replacing a boiler.
4. Across the “tails” of one radiator, having
drained and disconnected this radiator
only. The standard CLEARFLOW hose

If system is vented, cap off the cold
feed and expansion pipe.
Connect Clearflow pump into heating
system. Connect dump, water inlet,
and overflow hoses to Clearflow
pump.
Open all radiator and lock-shield
valves, and set zone valves to manual
position, for full flow throughout
system.
Switch on Clearflow pump, and
circulate for ten minutes, reversing
flow regularly.
Start dumping. Adjust inlet water to
ensure tank water level remains
constant. Allow to run until dump
water is relatively clear.
Set Clearflow into circulation mode,
with full flow through the whole
heating system (all radiator valves
open).

fittings will connect on to 3/4” radiator
valves, and adaptors are supplied to fit
1/2” radiator valves.
5. Breaking into one ‘run’ of larger diameter
pipework, using push-fit or compression
connections adapted to 3/4” male BSP.
It is necessary to make a heating system into
a closed circuit, by capping off the cold feed
and expansion pipes, or by looping them
together (if they are not close-coupled).

Pour 2.5 litres POWER FLUSH FX2
flushing chemical (or one litre of
Hyper-Flush) into Clearflow tank.
If possible, switch on boiler to
heat water to 50 o C. It is not
necessary to leave boiler firing
continuously.
Continue circulation through wide
open system for fifteen minutes,
to distribute chemical, whilst
reversing flow regularly.
Shut off all radiator valves except
for one radiator. Allow full flow
through this radiator for five
minutes, reversing flow regularly.
Shut off first radiator, and move
to second. Work around system,
putting full flow through each
radiator in turn.
After circulating through last
radiator, switch to dumping on
that one radiator, until water runs
crystal clear.
Operate flow reverser and appropriate
valves to dump with water
flow in opposite direction, until
water again runs clear.

Alternative Clearflow
connection locations
When using POWER FLUSH FX2 liquid, this
method can also clear deposit accumulations
at the lower end of the cold feed pipe, a
problem frequently found in conventional
open vent heating systems.
Comprehensive instructions for use are
included with every CLEARFLOW pump, and
the telephone help line service ensures that
pump users can get helpful and experienced
advice on using both equipment and chemicals.

Open up previous radiator, and dump
on that until water runs clear. Work
around system in reverse, dumping
through each radiator alone in turn.
Restore circulation through
Clearflow pump and complete heating
system with all radiator valves wide
open.
Add contents of one tube Neutralising
Crystals to tank, and circulate for ten
minutes. Omit this stage if using Hyper-
Flush, as it is a pH neutral product.
Commence final dump procedure, with
all radiators wide open. Allow to run
until dump water is crystal clear.
Test that dump water is neutral with
pH meter or paper, and add Systemsafe-DM
corrosion inhibitor to
Clearflow tank.

The chemicals and accessories to use with Clearflow TM pumps
POWER FLUSH FX2 and HYPER-FLUSH are formulated to
penetrate, loosen and break down corrosion debris and
sludge into small particles, which are then forcibly expelled
from the system by the high water velocity generated by
a Clearflow pump. Whilst high water velocity alone will
remove some debris from heating systems, the smaller the
particle size, the greater is the effect of the moving water,
hence the dramatic increase in flushing efficiency when
using POWER FLUSH FX2 and HYPER-FLUSH.
