After draining my gas hot water boiler system, is there any sort of
water additive I should add (e.g. anti-corrosive) when I refill it?
And if so, how?

Thanks!


There is antifreeze made for boilers, which is typically pumped into the
system

Yeah its called glycol and it comes in two flavors and colored to
suit. Glycol is not a water treatment and is typically not used in a
residential setting. Try again.


Don't know where you are, but in here in NY Cryotek is quite frequently used
in residential boilers.

Is there some reason why you folks at hvac can't answer a question without
sounding like smarmy assholes?
