Hello
I have a newly built, 5-year-old passive house equipped with a ventilation system.
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about cleaning the ducts installed inside the building structure, since these are not accessible for removing construction dust and accumulated dirt.
I have now taken some photos with an inspection camera, showing about a 1 cm (0.4 inch) layer of dust inside the exhaust duct, which is not ideal.
After much consideration, I have found a partner with whom I have solved this problem.
We offer efficient cleaning using a cleaning pig. However, before we enter the market (planned for 1.1.2019), I wanted to hear some feedback regarding new buildings with ventilation systems.
This concerns systems installed with distributors and plastic ducts.
We would like to limit our service initially to the NRW area, but here I am interested in a realistic assessment from owners of such systems.
I have one myself and want to continue breathing clean air, not dirty, dusty air...
The method we offer is truly effective and efficient.
So, let’s hear your thoughts.

For systems that look like the ones shown in the shared photos, there is probably something fundamentally wrong(?).
In my case, there are several filter stages before the air enters the ducts — and even after a year, they still look spotless. Of course, they are also smooth.
It should be clear to anyone who has at least taken five minutes to google that the air is not mixed in the plate heat exchanger.

So, after 9 pages, here is the summary:
There are already enough providers on the market. The original poster’s idea does not offer any added value. For most people, it is too expensive. And whether cleaning is necessary at all cannot be generalized.
In my opinion, with regular filter changes and exhaust filters, cleaning is not necessarily required.
Future systems increasingly feature inspection openings, allowing the user to clean easily if they want.
So, the idea is dead, and it’s time to focus on proper work again.

You’re really something... Who would bother creating two extra accounts just to talk to you!
Could it be that you’re suffering from paranoia?

Mycraft writes or works for Codex. You can clearly tell that by the images. Judging by the poor way he criticizes, it’s obvious that he’s afraid of competitors.
People who try to promote their own business at all costs while putting others down should be banned from the forum.
Bookstar is somewhat right. Everyone should check their own pipes and decide for themselves whether they want to clean them. In doing so, they should look into the different methods and critically evaluate them.
In my opinion, the pull-through method using a pig is more effective both in terms of cleanliness and time than the coil system.
I’m also not a fan of air filters, as they clog up quickly and thus change the airflow rate. This can have various consequences, which you can research yourself online.

This is how my exhaust ducts look after 5 years.Ours don’t. We are in the fifth year, and our ducts don’t look like that.
Ours are clean.
Sorry.
LOL, it’s really funny what people are accusing me of here.
Not only I, but also most users in this forum know how to handle the tools at their fingertips.

I don’t think much of room air filters either, as they clog very quickly and thus change the airflow volume. Of course, the filters do get clogged. That’s exactly their job: to capture dust before it reaches the ducts. Then you can replace them, and the cycle starts again.
But seriously: please go ahead and remove your filters quickly so the ducts can gather dust and the mold can grow. That’s all I have to say here; I would consider this topic closed.
