How often should I open the valves

that drain my condensate return line and my bottom boiler clean out? Mine is a single pipe steam system that's very clean and pretty efficient. I open the blow down valve once every week or two, but I'm not sure about the other valves.

What comes out
when you open them? If your opening the valves blows out sediment continue. If it doesn't reduce your frequency. No need to waste condensate if it is clean.0
