Title: Boiler treatment and re-start
Post by: MD20/20 on November 06, 2018, 07:27:30 AM

My 325G has been sitting idle with no water in it for the last 2 years, but I’m ready to restart it.
I need to buy treatment for the water and curious if I need to prep boiler with anything since it been sitting so long?

You're probably going to want to flush it before you dump the treatment in, as there is likely a hefty layer of rust inside by now. I like to dump a packet or 2 of TSP (TriSodium Phosphate,couple bucks at HD) in with straight water and circulate for 24 hours, dump, flush with fresh water, and repeat until the water runs clean before adding treatment.
