Summer shut down clogged system

Posted by Dan Sager on June 12, 2001 at 04:17:05:

I turned off the electric switch to stop the system for the summer. After a week, I found water coming from the vent on the second floor return. Over my 9 year experience with steam heat, I've had sludge continuously from this 75 year old system. How do I drain the Return system?
