POWER FLUSHING IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF CLEANING EXISTING HEATING
SYSTEMS, ESPECIALLY THOSE CONTAINING LARGE QUANTITIES OF CORROSION DEBRIS.
Clear water is forced through a system, pushing debris ahead of it,
and this continues until the dump water finally runs clear. This may
take a considerable time.
The CombiMag SOLO power flush filter has been developed to
quickly remove circulating black iron oxide contamination from the
flushing water, using the power of a rare earth magnet to capture
magnetic iron oxides from the water flow.
The CombiMag SOLO filter is installed in line with any power
flushing pump. The cyclone construction directs contaminated
water through a powerful magnetic field, such that even the
smallest of particles are retained on the central magnet, from
which they may be easily cleaned during and after power flushing.
Power flushing is the fastest and most effective means of
cleansing sludge and corrosion debris from central heating
systems, utilising a high flow of water to loosen and ultimately
expel the debris, usually containing large quantities of black iron
oxide, from the system.
Collected debris, which may otherwise lead to blockages in small
bore pipework, is prevented from re-entering the heating system.
The rapid removal of debris from the flushing water prevents
saturation of the cleaning solution with black sludge, leading to a
more effective power flush.
The time savings on every job when using the CombiMag SOLO
power flush filter will rapidly cover its cost, reducing the job time
and consequent disruption for householders.
The debris retained on the magnet is an impressive visual aid. It
demonstrates to householders what has been removed from the
system, confirms the need for the power flush, and demonstrates
that the clean has been professionally carried out
The increased efficiency of power flushing when using a
CombiMag SOLO filter reduces heating costs and results in a
more efficient heating system.

5Both CombiMag three-port valves should be in the CIRCULATE position.
2Select the required direction of flow and position the pump flow
reverser lever in that direction.
1Place the CombiMag power flushing filter adjacent to the power
flushing pump on a suitable drip tray.
The power flushing pump can circulate the system water in either direction
by operation of the flow reversing lever. However we suggest that the initial
set-up is such that the CombiMag filter is installed before the boiler to offer
the boiler a higher level of protection in the early stages of the power flush.
4Using the power flushing pump standard flow and return hoses connect
both the pump and the top connection on the CombiMag to the heating
system.
3Install the filter on the flow from the flushing pump using the short
(1 ½ metre) hose supplied. Connect the flow to the lower connection on
the filter.
5Grip the cylinder lid and handle with one hand. Whilst wearing
disposable gloves, grip and slide the magnetite sludge down and off
the magnet (see pictures below).
3Remove the securing ring from the top of the cylinder and, gripping the
handle firmly, carefully lift out the magnet.
Note: It is advisable to only remove a proportion of the deposits with each
stroke, starting at the lower end of the magnet, rather than all at the same
time. Clean the end of the magnet.
Note: the magnet is very powerful and is strongly attracted to steel surfaces.
Take care not to trap fingers and avoid contact with sensitive equipment.
1Turn on the power flushing pump and immediately check all
connections, and the top of the CombiMag cylinder for leaks.
It is not necessary to remove all deposits during the intermediate cleans
whilst power flushing. However, to ensure a long life the magnet should be
thoroughly cleaned and dried at the end of each job.
4Inspect the magnet for collected deposits and, if necessary, clean as
follows:
6Collect the sludge in a suitable container for later disposal.
7Re-assemble the CombiMag ensuring that the magnet locates within
the circular recess at the base of the cylinder, and turn both three-port
valves back into the CIRCULATE position.
OPERATION DURING POWER FLUSH
8Repeat the inspection and cleaning procedure as required during the
flushing process.
CLEANING THE MAGNET
2After initial circulation for approximately ten minutes, turn both three-
port valves 180° into the BYPASS position.
CAUTION - The CombiMag contains a strong magnet and generates a very
powerful magnetic field. When removed from the cylinder, keep away from
electronic equipment, watches, mobile phones, credit cards etc.
