Kamco
Clearflow Pump
*Flow and return may be connected at circulator pump connectors or using the
Kamco CP2 Pump Head Adapter, or at many alternative points in the system.
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.
1
Place the CombiMag power flushing filter adjacent to the power
flushing pump on a suitable drip tray.
2
Select the required direction of flow and position the pump flow
reverser lever in that direction.
3
Install 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.
4
Using the power flushing pump standard flow and return hoses connect
both the pump and the top connection on the CombiMag to the heating
system.
5
Both CombiMag three-port valves should be in the CIRCULATE position.

OPERATION DURING POWER FLUSH
1
Turn on the power flushing pump and immediately check all
connections, and the top of the CombiMag cylinder for leaks.
2
After initial circulation for approximately ten minutes, turn both three-
port valves 180° into the BYPASS position.
3
Remove the securing ring from the top of the cylinder and, gripping the
handle firmly, carefully lift out 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.
4
Inspect the magnet for collected deposits and, if necessary, clean as
follows:
5
Grip 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).
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.
6
Collect the sludge in a suitable container for later disposal.
7
Re-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.
8
Repeat the inspection and cleaning procedure as required during the
flushing process.
CLEANING THE MAGNET
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.
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.
