New boiler fitting

My new boiler fitting came with a free magnacleanse. The fitter has basically used the boiler to flush the pipework for 10 minutes then drained all the radiators and said the water coming out is clean and he is not overly keen on using his flush machine as the pipework is quite thin. The boiler has still been fitted with the magnetic filter. 

Is this normal if the water is 'clean' or should i be concerned.

    Warranty being void from not having a proper flush carried out and having the pipes full of crud.

    You have had a proper flush, just not a power flush which generally isn't recommended when dealing with old, existing pipework. Your plumber has done the correct thing.
  • They usually are best to do a cold water chemical flush, as Neilmcl said, a power flush on an old system can cause so many issues
