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!

Why did you drain it, you just filled it with the most corrosive
element, water with Oxygen in it. So now run it hot.

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?

Define "Answer".

YOU have "answered" a water treatment question with
a Glycol answer. Now you have him misdirected, with a new set of
20 questions, just to later find out it was all an exercise in futility.

You may as well have told him to purge his automobile tire and replace
it
with fresh air.

Seriously.

Yes.

Add HOT water. Otherwise, it will be full of COLD water.

You're welcome.

Pull your dick out of your mouth, or at least stop pounding your epiglottis

Fer Petes sake. Once the water is added back in to the system it is
purged of corrosive content by the heat. You don't need any additive
whatsoever, unless you are going to leave it inoperative for a long
spell or it is going to be in freezing conditions. It is wise to bleed
the system after a few days, unless you have automatic bleeders. Most
do. Don't let one of them that Union guys near it. They have been known
to urinate into the feedwater. They think it cleans up their drug test. ;-p

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.

Just plain tap water after a couple of days of heating loses it mineral
and corrosive content. It actually turns kind of dark or black in iron
or copper pipping. Those pipes will remain corrosion free. If you ever
expect it to freeze, then you need to add a special long term
antifreeze. Hot water heat systems seldom need freeze protection. But a
bit of antifreeze will insure that remote possibility.

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

Supposedly, the water feed goes through a check valve, and a
pressure reducer. No chance of backfeeding into the
domestic. And if it does? Such a small ammount.

One teaspoon of Permanent automobile antifreeze spilled into Hog
food..Eaten by the hog that went down and was butchered and by an Iowa
family, brain damaged both adults and 3 preteen children. You can find
details of the toxicity of this stuff at the Agricultural college at
Ames Iowa. They have an excellent Web page and will answer any and all
queries pertaining to their expertise. Also many pets that drink out of
the toilet that has been winterized with Antifreeze die a terrible
death. Motor home domestic water system that are winterized have warning
signs prominently displayed to insure nontoxic antifreeze is used.
Antifreeze from car accidents require special clean up as it will seep
into the sewer system and many cities recycle sewer water. It is a
serious issue. Drink enough of it and you will not have to be embalmed.

*Not Acceptable*

All water meters have a back flow check vale to keep each users back
flow from entering the public system. But it is not full proof. The
Health Department takes daily random samples for th good of the
community. The back flow check systems on Hydronic Heating systems are
not of the quality and are seldom maintained until full failure. Inside
of that closed loop from the water meter is the drinking water of your
family.
I like my family, but you do as you will. I will never knowingly damage
another human being with my work.

Back flow preventers can fail dip****. In a commercial atmosphere HWH
systems with glycol have a tank filled with glycol, a pump on the
tank is controlled by a pressure switch. The stop valve on the water
feed line is left closed. The mormon cocksucker couldn't get any

What worries me is that he is replying to alt.home.repair. Some foolish
person may take him seriously on this issue. We are the same as the
medical profession. *Do No Damage* Can you imagine an apartment complex
with antifreeze back leaking into the drinking water system. It would
weeks or months before it was caught and all damage to humans
irreversible. That is why we have Boiler licenses and a required
inspection of commercial and multifamily boiler systems. I shudder to
think of the damage to single families that are not inspected and have
hacks freezeproofing them.

Have an accident spilling antifreeze. The fire department puts powder
