Not to flush or to flush whatever, If your best is just a nitro purge so be it, if it is a r11 flush with a nitro purge so be it... If it is nothing then so be it.. As far as this gorilla bull crap your trying to smear all over this guys question so be it.. You do not sound professional you sound like someone trying to say not cleaning linesets is ok, when its not and is not doing your best for your customer client etc.. If it was my house i would flush it, just as I would if I had control over it for my customers..
Go to the labs, the experiments in your controlled rooms and make excuses for not doing the best for your customers to relieve your guilt, I don't care, and I am done trying to reason with ignorance.....
I am just glad people like you have proven to me I am doing the best for my clients and customers thank you so much...
for proving to me I am one of the best...
Based on that last post, if I was judging only on professionalism...
We flush, but not with rx11. We use a nitro/cleaning mixture, similar (but greater volumes) to a acid cleanup injector.
Seems like it works so far. Haven't had any real compressor issues. The nitro really sprays that stuff out of there. I doubt anything remains when correctly done.
But, thats in the rarity that we can't replace a lineset.
In reality though, I'd rather hit them with nitro alone.
As mentioned earlier, there's only 2 things that belong in a system. Refrigerant and oil.
keep in mind, if the crap hits the fan with flushing linesets (5 years down the road it eats up windings), I doubt your manufacturer will stand behind those warranty claims. Especially if they've said not to use flushing agents.
