How do you use an aquarium pump to dry out a boiler ?

Go through your normal boiler emptying routine, then  leaving the SV out, put the silicone air tube in and turn the pump on.
Overnight the circulating air will dry the boiler out bone dry.

Don't forget to seal the boiler off with the air line in it first, then open up the steam line valve and run the engine on air for a minute to clear the steam line and cylinder of any water.
