Central Boiler / 90° brass fitting leaking?

« on: March 12, 2024, 03:51:13 AM »

Hi all, had a 1 in 90° breast fitting leaking connected to my supply PEX line. Cut it out and replaced it, my question is how do these systems prime as far as does the pump reprime the whole system after a certain amount of time running or do you have to force water back into the line with garden hose connected to ball valve fitting in basement? Only about a quart of water came out when I cut the line so it makes me think I should not have to refill but when I did that the opposite line (do you return line) would not fill with water but I'm also unsure of if it was because the thermostatic valve would not open because so much time passed that the water cooled off?

Central Boiler / Unplug taco pump in off season?

« on: March 12, 2024, 03:46:16 AM »

Hi, I know some people run their boiler year round. I do not and I'm wondering if what I've been doing is correct in the past? Usually once temperatures stay above freezing I unplug my taco pump (is it good for it to have a rest or possibly make it wear out quicker than just running year-round?)

Central Boiler / Fill/ flush/ switch to molly?

« on: March 11, 2024, 09:21:28 AM »

What is procedure to clear out old water/inhibitor mixture to start fresh with new molly inhibitor and clean water after running old inhibitor for 8 years in cb1450 e classic?( I'm assuming I need to drain at outdoor bottom left valve b/c it's the lowest point in system but how can I flush all old water/junk out?)

Plumbing / Drain/ moly/refill procedure?

« on: March 11, 2024, 05:11:30 AM »

Hi, been using the old rust inhibitor since 2016 outdoor wood burner installed. Developed a leak in the 90° fitting and had to replace it and now the only thing available is Molly. I would like to just drain the system and start fresh. Do I need to flush the system and how do I go about flushing and filling on a central boiler eclassic 1450?

Central Boiler / Central boiler e-classic 1450 hi 1 message!!!

Hi all, everything shut down at the end of the season earlier this year as normal. Now I go to start up and beforehand I switched out to Molly armor. I go to fire it up yesterday and I get a high number one fault where all three lights are flashing on the side display. With some investigation I find out that it is showing that it's 800° water temperature as you can see in the screenshot. My question is where is the temperature sensor on this unit? I've tried tracing the wires going to the back by the blower box with no lock there? My next place is I'm going to remove the side metal where the damper handle is to see if I can find it in there? Is there a way to know whether it's the temperature sensor that's bad or is it possible the whole controller board is bad and sensing that the water temperature is boiling when I haven't even started a fire in it yet? Thanks Matt

Central Boiler / Firestar xp screen?

« on: January 18, 2019, 04:59:20 PM »

I'm looking to see if anyone out there knows how to decipher the reaction chamber colors on the screen of my phone, I know they correlate their colors too how it is burning because when it's burning really good you can tell it buy every cycle being red but when it's bad there's a lot of green shading in the background behind the red on each burn cycle

Central Boiler / E classic 1450 question

« on: December 05, 2018, 06:29:26 AM »

Hi all,
This is my second season using my central boiler 1450 and my question relates to the fire box clean out attached is a picture of the rear lower portion that has kind of a roof shape, that I'm wondering how to remove this to clean the build-up out of that area? It looks like the top portion is just fit into a channel but the bottom looks to be welded? This is where the are over fire originates from and is really difficult to clean without removing this portion, let me know what you guys have come up with in the past I have just been using a long spring that I push through and scrub it out the best I can thanks Matt
