You cover a cat in peat and dry earth, and it doesn't smell?

Manufacturers seem paranoid about filtering out solids before they reach
a modern boiler.

No grit blasting involved with a dishwasher.

Default powder flush any good? (not power flush)

They need a proof reader and a spell checker.
Powder Flush T was designed to clean hardened sludge out of central heating
systems, there are many instances where normal power flushing flails to
clean enough of the sludge out of the system, for it to work correctly. Many
older systems or systems containing plastic pipes do NOT get cleaned well
enough by standard power flushing and a lot of the time, plumbers recommend
replacing the whole system. With us, replacement is no longer necessary!
Powder Flush was designed for the shortcomings that normal power flushing
has.
Dissolvable pellets (of different sizes) gets added to the central heating
water while flushing the system. This acts as a mild abrasive that harder
than any sludge but softer than the metals, plastics or rubbers in the
system and does NOT cause any increase in risk of leaks, when compared to
normal power flushing. It will not scratch or damage any part of the system.
Powder Flush can recondition pipework to almost new. Normal power flushing
can only clean loose sludge with fast flowing water and chemicals and is NOT
very good at loosening up or removing hard build-ups of sludge. Our custom
built Powder Flush machines are up tp 300% more powerful than any other
commercially available, power flush machine and we guarantee to clear any
sludge blockage, no matter how bad your system is.
I'm a little dubious on this one.
I do not believe in any miracle cures. I have a friend with terrible noises
in the pipes and strange random faults since a new boiler was fitteed
despite two power flushes. I suspect that this stuff might make things
worse!

*I* dunno, but they say:

"Can you cause a block in my system?
"Blocking a system is impossible as all the abrasive will dissolve within 30
min, regardless. Once it has turned from a solid into a liquid, it will not turn
back into a solid, you could leave it in a system indefinitely and the system
would work just fine."
