c.  Remove relief valve using extreme care to avoid 
damaging it.
d.  Add an appropriate amount of recommended boil 
out compound.
e.  Replace relief valve.
f.  Fill the entire system with water.
g. Start fi ring the boiler.
h.  Circulate the water through the entire system.
i.  Vent the system, including the radiation.
j  Allow boiler water to reach operating 
temperature, if possible.
k.  Continue to circulate the water for a few hours.
l. Stop fi ring the boiler.
m. Drain the system in a manner and to a location 
that hot water can be discharged with safety.
n.  Remove plugs from all available returns and 
wash the water side of the boiler as thoroughly as 
possible, using a high-pressure water stream.
o. Refi ll the system with fresh water.
3.  Add appropriate boiler water treatment compounds 
as recommended by your qualifi ed water treatment 
company.
4.  Make pH or Alkalinity Test.
  After boiler and system have been cleaned and 
refi lled as previously described, test the pH of 
the water in the system. This can easily be done 
by drawing a small sample of boiler water and 
testing with hydrion paper which is used in the 
same manner as litmus paper, except it gives 
specifi c readings. A color chart on the side of the 
small hydrion dispenser gives the reading pH. 
Hydrion paper is inexpensive and obtainable from 
any chemical supply house or through your local 
druggist. The pH should be higher than 7 but lower 
than 11. Add appropriate water treatment chemicals, 
if necessary, to bring the pH within the specifi ed 
range. With this lower level of protection, care must 
be exercised to eliminate all of the free oxygen in 
the system.
5.  Boiler is now ready to be put into service.
C.  FREQUENT WATER ADDITION
  Although unusual for a water boiler, frequent water 
additions are a sign of a leaky system. Excessive 
amounts of make up water supplied to the boiler can 
signifi cantly shorten the life of the boiler. The amount 
of water varies with the contamination level of the 
water. Repair the leak and consult with your water 
treatment specialist for recommendations.
D.  ATTENTION TO BOILER WHILE NOT IN 
OPERATION.

3.  To recondition the heating system in the fall season 
after a prolonged shut down, follow the instructions 
outlined in Section IX, Paragraphs A through J.
