Change a word to make it clear where the drain is

You want to hook it up to the drain above each zone valve (the silver boxes labeled 1, 2 and 3). Those drains are called boiler drains. The name does not mean it's at the bottom of the boiler. | |

What you can do is wait until the water coming out has a noticeable water temperature change which indicates either boiler water has reached the end or fresh water you just added has. As long as the pressure has remained high the whole time, the air should have been forced out. Normally you'd hear the air or see the hose jump when air comes through. | |

Turned directions into a list

| Oct 26, 2018 at 15:16 | comment | added | salisboss | So just to be sure. Of the steps: 1. Hook hose up to spigot above a zone motor. 2. Turn off boiler and the crank valve above the zone motor. 3. Open spigot and drain two buckets while allowing water in to boiler to keep up pressure. 4. Also hook hose up to drain on the bottom of the boiler and drain that? | |
