Hot Water Furnace Additive?

Posted by bobted on October 24, 2009, 12:17 pm

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.

        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
with it.
Two things might happen:
1. You might stop damaging your already damaged brain.
2. You might actually be funny one of these days.

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