I'm a Florida Plumber with no heating expertise, but we flush our tanks with Chlorine or bleach to kill bacteria. Since this is more a heating question then bva plumbing one I'm going to move this to "Heating" where other experts can answer much better then vI. Good luck, tom

Black algae is bad news. I suggest you contact a boiler treatment specialist since not only do you want to kill off the offending item but prevent it from happening again. You will need to treat your water.

Visit this web site and then call them on the phone for specifics. I have used this company before and they are very professional with there chemicals.
