FLUSH 40 – pump for flushing and descaling installations
FLUSH 40 by IBO is an efficient pump for chemical flushing and descaling of larger heating, refrigeration and water installations. The large working tank and flow reversal operated by a switching valve effectively remove deposits from extensive systems.
Who it is for
- Central heating installers – flushing larger installations, multi-section manifolds and heat exchangers.
- Heat pump and heating substation service technicians – descaling extensive, high-capacity circuits.
- Companies maintaining installations in commercial facilities – cleaning systems in multi-family residential and industrial buildings.
- Renovation teams – clearing heavily silted and air-bound installations.
Applications
- Flushing and descaling extensive central heating installations and heat exchangers.
- Cleaning larger refrigeration, glycol and heat pump circuits.
- Removal of scale, silica, iron and manganese oxides, and organic deposits.
- Maintenance of installations in commercial and multi-family residential buildings.
Features, description and technical data
FLUSH 40 is an electric flushing pump with a power rating of 370 W (0.37 kW), powered by 230 V / 50 Hz. The flow rate is up to 70 l/min at a working pressure of up to 2 bar, allowing high-capacity installations with greater flow resistance to be flushed. The maximum temperature of the flushed liquid is 50 °C, while the IP54 protection rating protects the device during workshop and on-site operation. The working tank has a capacity of 40 l.
The device is equipped with flow reversal operated by a switching valve. The operator manually changes the flow direction during the flushing cycle, allowing deposits to be removed from both sides of the circuit. Cyclically changing the direction increases the effectiveness of removing scale, iron bacteria, and deposits adhering to the walls of the installation.
FLUSH 40 is compatible with alkaline cleaning and descaling agents, such as IBO Cleaner IC-1. These chemicals dissolve deposits while remaining safe for the materials used in typical systems. After flushing, neutralization and protection of the system with a protective agent (protector) are recommended.

What is the FLUSH 40 flushing pump used for?
Applications of the FLUSH 40 pump
FLUSH 40 is designed for chemical flushing and descaling of larger heating, cooling, and water systems. Its large tank and high capacity allow it to clean extensive systems with a large volume.
How does FLUSH 40 differ from the FLUSH 20 models?
Differences compared with FLUSH 20
FLUSH 40 has greater power (370 W), a capacity of up to 70 l/min, pressure of up to 2 bar, and a 40 l tank, making it suitable for larger systems. Reversal is operated manually using a switching valve.
Where can I buy the IBO FLUSH 40 pump?
Where to buy FLUSH 40
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The FLUSH 40 pump is available from our commercial partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
How does flow reversal work in FLUSH 40?
Flow reversal
FLUSH 40 changes the flow direction using a switching valve operated manually by the operator. Periodically changing the direction helps remove deposits from both sides of the system and increases flushing effectiveness.
Which chemicals should be used with the FLUSH 40 pump?
Recommended cleaning agents
We recommend alkaline cleaning and descaling agents, such as IBO Cleaner IC-1. After flushing, it is advisable to neutralize the solution and protect the system with a protective agent.
How should the FLUSH 40 pump be operated and maintained?
Operation and maintenance
The pump should be used within the parameters specified in the documentation, with liquid temperatures up to 50 °C. After each flushing cycle, rinsing the pump with clean water and emptying the tank is recommended, as this extends the service life of the device.
