Am thinking of hiring a power flusher to flush out my central heating but have not used one before and would like to know how easy it is to use? I have a friend who is a plumber who I will ask to help me but not sure if he has done this before.

Thanks

Difficulty in using a powerflusher varies. Most units are quite simple to operate. Difficulties usualy vary with accessabilty to pipe work you need to get to. Your type of system and the degree of muck/debris in your system.
When hiring from a reputable outlet the supplier should run you through the machine controls and hire the machine out with a full set of instructions.
Best suggestion pop to the hire shop, with your plumber pal, have a look at the machine and have a chat with the staff. Then decide between you if you feel happy with proceeding.
