I started draining my radiators today fearing a clog since our heater hadn't turned on yet. After dumping at least ten gallons, I'm wondering how much more I have to go... The pilot light is ON on our gas pushed-water heater... new to this... advice appreciated...
None. Never drain a boiler unless you have to. Air in a system causes all kinds of problems. Most boilers have an automatic fill valve that maintains 12# of pressure in the system.
Bleed the air out of the radiators and forget about it.

It’s Friday!
Well it’s the end of the typical week and I’m watching a star trek film. It’s the end of the typical week as in I’m working this weekend so it’s still the week for me. I really feel like some beer but I have a feeling if I get some I won’t bother to drink it…What a situation!
Didn’t do much today just played guitar really. Tomorrow I’m draining a water storage tank and taking it out of the loft also going to be putting on thermostatic valves on the radiators. Looking forward to going back to plumbing after 2 days of sanding walls. I quite enjoy it.
