Step 4: Connect the Hose to the Boiler Drain Valve

You’ll need to attach a hose to your boiler drain valve. So that you can direct water from inside your home into an outdoor drain or bucket, where it can be disposed of safely. Open up this valve and let gravity do its job as you begin draining out all of that dirty water! You should also make sure that when connecting hoses, they are long enough so as not to get caught on anything during use or storage.

And repeat this process until there is no more sediment left in your tank (you may need to repeat this process several times).

Step 7: Tighten the Valve

Once you’ve drained all of the water from your boiler, you can begin to tighten the valve. Turn the valve clockwise to tighten it and prevent any leaks from occurring. If you need to remove it for any reason, turn the valve counterclockwise until it comes off easily (but not so loose that water will spill out).

Step 8: Fill the Water Heater

Now your boiler is drained, you can begin refilling it. Turn on the main water supply valve and allow the tank to fill up. Keep a close eye on the pressure gauge to ensure it doesn’t exceed the recommended level.

Be sure to turn off any valves before doing this. Wait for your calentador de agua to heat up and then check its temperature using a thermometer. If it’s above 120 grados Fahrenheit, turn off your boiler and wait until it cools down before draining again.
