Central Heating Tools
Solving Problems With Blocked Central Heating Systems
Using a power flusher pump
Over time both commercial and domestic central heating systems will require some maintenance and repair work undertaking to key components including the heating boiler, water pump, valves, radiators, pipework, and thermostat.
One of the most common problems experienced by homeowners and business users is the build up of harmful deposits of oxide and sludge that prevent the components working efficiently.
When things reach a certain level the only option to resolve this problem is by either replacing the heating system components on a one by one basis (every affected pipe, pump, valve etc) or by way of power flushing.
What is a Power Flush?
A power flush is the task of cleaning out the central heating system by circulating high volumes of (forced) water and cleaning agents (detergents) around a heating system to remove debris, rust, oxide deposits, sludge etc.
You may need to have a power flush done if you have cold spots in your radiators, or your radiators are cold at the bottom and warm at the top. Occasionally one radiator in your system may not be working at all and this is a sign that a power flush may help.
If there is a build up of sludge in the systems feed and expansion tank or the heating system is very slow to build up to temperature these are both indicators that a system flush clean is required. Another indicator of the need for a power flush is if your thermostatic radiator valves are stuck in the off position.
Central Heating Power Flushers come in various sizes which range from models with a small tank which is enough for a standard domestic heating system to industrial sized units which will flush out a system in the largest of commercial properties.
Power flushing pumps can be hired from your local tool hire shop.
If you are a professional plumber this piece of plumbing equipment can also be purchased from outlets specialising in this type of equipment.
To begin a flush on a central heating system you will need to isolate your electric power supply to the system. Do not remove your earth continuity bond. Close both isolating valves that should be on either side of your central heating pump. You are then in a position to be able to disconnect the water pump from your system. You can now connect your central heating power flush system to your central heating system if your power flusher comes with a connecting manifold.
Alternative type of connection:
With other types you can connect the power flusher to your central heating system via your radiator valve connectors.
To use this type of power flusher turn off your radiator valves, disconnect one, allow the air bleed valve (the one used to bleed radiators) to be open so air can come into your radiator and water out from the disconnected valve. When all the water has drained from the radiator you can now connect your power flush to the return valves on the connections of your central heating system.

Electric Powered Chainsaws
An electric powered chainsaw is the ideal piece of powered garden machinery for general logging, prunning, and cutting back work in the garden or workplace.
Although the use of this type of saw is restricted somewhat by the need for the tool to have a trailing electric power cable it more than makes up for it by having far reduced maintenance needs than its equivalent petrol powered models.
After fitting a chain bar and loop chain an electric chainsaw only needs filling with chain saw oil and its power supply connecting to be ready for use. No engine warming up is needed, no fuelling or mixing petrol with oil, no choke setting adjustment before use, you can virtually instantly get to work sawing, chopping, logging, and pruning.
A wide choice of electric chainsaws are now available to buy including budget priced models for occasional use, branded home user ones aimed at the home gardener, and also top end price models such as those manufactured by Makita and Stihl as examples.
The majority of electric chainsaw are powered by a 240v electric power supply. There are a few machines however that are available in 110v variations for use on site when it is neccessary to run off off a standard power tool transformer.
Most chain saws of this type are fitted with a chain bar and cutting blade of the size range of 12" to 16" in length. This is the ideal ratio of cutting capacity matched to an electric driven saw of this type.
A large advantage for the home gardener that only needs to use this type of powered garden machinery occasionally (perhaps once or twice per year) is the lighter weight of an electric chainsaw when compared to an equivalent petrol fuelled model. The weight saving is a real advantage especially when the saw is used for repeated periods of pruning and trimming back work in the garden.
When you are looking to purchase a chainsaw perhaps the best question to ask yourself is how often you will use it? For the home user that is undertaking cutting work close to the family home or other property the best consideration has to be a straight forward electric chainsaw.

Karcher T Racer
Karcher Patio Cleaning Accessories
There are a wide range of purposely designed genuine Karcher accessories to undertake patio cleaning work at home or in a leisure environment.
Being perhaps the most well known brand of home user as well as commercial use pressure washers worldwide, Karcher have developed through innovation and cutting edge technology effective accessories, attachments, and detergents to bring dirty and soiled hard surface patios back to life.
Over the recent years one groundbreaking accessory they have developed and launched is their range of T Racer Patio Cleaner units.
Aimed primarily at the home owner and gardener, a Karcher T Racer is an attachment / accessory that fits the majority of their domestic jet pressure washers by way of fitment to the trigger gun and which when used cleans patios and other hard surface areas by the use of high pressure water alone.
A t racer is a shrouded shaped unit which contains rotating jet arms that spin round at a high speed allowing water to be blasted out in a concentrated area on the surface below.
Unlike a normal nozzle or "jet blaster" type nozzle that can be fitted to most pressure washers a karcher t racer is unique in the way it cleans hard surface areas on walls, floors, decking, and patios because of several design features:
T Racer Features
Rotating fan type nozzles
Light weight
Shrouded design prevents splashback
Concentrated cleaning area
Common lance / gun fitments
Genuine OEM Karcher accessory
Although patio and deck cleaning has always been possible with the use of a jet washer, anyone that has used one in a traditional way either with the standard nozzle or a dirt blaster type nozzle will understand just how time consuming and labourious this job can be.
A standard pressure washer lance nozzle has a cleaning area only only a couple of inches wide when used on drives, paths, patios, slabs, and the like. A dirt blaster type nozzle has an even smaller cleaning area. This is because the pressure of the wter needs to be focussed on a small area for it to work.
A t racer works in a completely different way. The shrouded unit first contains the water so none of the pressure is lost, a propeller type arm (s) then spins around at a very high speed which contains the cleaning jets themselves, out of which high pressured water is forced on to the surface area the t racer is placed upon.
The working area that is being cleaned at once is the area that is covered with the shroud of the unit.
Depending on which karcher t racer you purchase this can be from 6 to approximately 9 inches in size. This allows large flat hard suface areas to be cleaned and restored relatively quickly. Even vertical flat surfaces can be tackled with this patio cleaner accessory such as fences, walls, garage walls and doors, conservatory panels, and garden sheds and outbuildings.
One of the newest t racer designs is the T200 model. This is aimed at the latest diy and consumer pressure washers in the Karcher model line up and differs from previous versions by way of it also having a built in scondary handle for improved handling and posioning when used on vertical surfaces.
The T200 is also packaged with several models of karcher pressure washers available from popular sales outlets including mail order companies such as the Ideal World Satellite Tv Shopping Channel, QVC, Argos, as well as many more.

Mow Your Lawn Easily
If you have a medium to large sized lawn in your garden you should look to buying a petrol rotary lawnmower to make this labourious task easy.
Above all other types of grass cutting machines a rotary petrol mower is a great all round piece of garden machinery that suits most lawn types.
Usually fitted with adjustable height wheels in addition to occasionally a rear roller a rotary bladed mower can cope with light, medium, and tough grades of grass.
In this class of lawnmowing machine the Honda Izy is one of the most popular models sold worldwide and for several good reasons.
Simple and easy to use, efficient, reliable, and with easy starting of its four stroke petrol engine, as well as a high build quality, these are just a few of the deciding factors why thousands of home gardeners a year worldwide choose a Honda Izy Lawnmower above other brands.
In addition to the above factors this manufacturer of powered garden machinery employs leading edge technology and advanced design elements giving extreme dependability and reliability to its products.
Unlike a two stroke engined mower the Honda Izy model line up all feature their bullet proof four stroke engines making maintenance a lot easier especially for the home gardener.
Their four stroke engined powered machinery does not require any mixing of oil and petrol in their fuel, they run on unleaded petrol alone. Honda Izy lawn mowers are economical and are hence environmentally friendly to use having efficient fuel systems and engines using less petrol and oil than a conventional two stroke powered mower.
One of Honda's goals with their Izy mowers is to provide the user with a high quality piece of garden machinery that will result in the owner having an attractive and healthy lawn that they can really enjoy.
Range Of Models
Although the Izy range is Hondas entry line up of lawnmowers it is quite comprehensive with different models offering a choice of cutting widths as well as the options of push mowers and self propelled (driven) ones.
The HRG415PD is a 16" cutting width model that has several blade cutting heights and a large capacity grass collection bag. This model also has an auto choke mechanism and one piece handle assemblies. Its cutter deck housing is made out of pressed steel making it very robust and able to withstand knocks and bangs whilst undertaking mowing jobs in small to medium sized gardens.
A metal cutter deck on a rotary mower is a key advantage to otherwise common plastic decks that are fitted to entry level priced lawnmowers. Because of the high speed that a rotary mowers blade revolves at all it needs is for the mower to pick up a small stone or pebble and a puncture hole or crack can easily occur in a plastic deck.
The metal blade cutter decks fitted to Honda Izy petrol lawn mowers are finished in a corrosion resistant off-silver colour giving durability and robustness as well as a quality finish and appearance.
