I'm installing a new boiler next week. I'm replacing a 30 year old Burnham combi boiler with a new Pensotti and HTP indirect. I'm replacing everything except the 3 radiant zone copper and baseboard heaters. The old system had a significant leak that was constantly being replenished with the auto fill. A lot of calcium and lime build up occurred on the units. I'd like to flush the plumbing before installing the new system, for the most efficient use of the existing heating system.
Is it suggested to acid flush or Fernox style flushing prior to the installation? If so, is there a rental powerflusher that can be used and any suggestions on acid levels. I understand there is some risk/dangers with acid flushing, but i want to make sure the job is done right and safely.
Thanks!
