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!




Prestone? In a boiler? I don't think so! Ethylene/Polyethylene
glycol is toxic. Why would you ever put that any where near your
domestic? Use a product like Harvey Heat or similar which carries
all the anti-corrosive additives as well as uses Propylene which is
non-toxic.


This is absolutely correct. Most system have an automatic water
replenishment valve to compensate for any water losses. This
replenishment system is hooked directly to the potable supply water
for human consumption. Toxic chemicals in the heating loop could
seep back into that potable system and kill or cause permanent brain
damage to mammals and humans.

now you let out stormy's secret


Which one?



his damaged brain, of course


Wellll... After all he is a Mormon and banned from chugging Jack Daniels
and Prestone is a lot cheaper. ;-p
