I have no idea what the white stuff is, perhaps flushing the boiler and checking the over limit switch will help, are the check valves now junk or simply need to be flushed in order to work?

just because your check valves are junk and u have white gunk coming from your lines does not mean u got a lemon of a boiler....im pretty confident to say that your junky check vlaves and that white gunk has NOTHING to do with your boiler........it sounds to me that your house systems is set up completely ass backwards. the loop from the boiler to the house it simple....its one line in and one line out with one pump pushing water towards your house......

somewhere along the line that gunk got introduced to the system, somehow, someway.....go with what slim said...flush the system and get a plumber to check everything over before you hook back up. these systems are so simple to diagnose.....it has to be something stupid

This thread has been going for almost 2 years. I love this site and I'm all about helping people so......has anyone actually met  Roxann? Personally talked with her or him (maybe I missed this somewhere)? Does someone live near Roxann that can check the system and put this to rest? Whew.........

Could you post a picture of the check valves in the circs, I'm thinking the boiler may have overheated enough to melt the check valves and that is what you are seeing, I would be willing to bet that overheating is your issue now.

yeah I am pretty sure I have a lemon!!!

 
slim I don't have any photos

now the unit water light is on when I add water it pours out on the top so clearly it needs 0

house is still 82  i don't get it

the outside light still comes on when it wants  this unit has a mind of its own  on a good note my wood burning has gone way down the winter hasn't hit either,

so far ive paid out about 500 with issues this season still going

I've seen the install, it may be ghost flowing but I would bet it's tripping the over limit and dumping heat into the house, can you turn down the water temp on the boiler a bit?

i bet its the high limit as well....is it the newer style PLC that i have on my new 400???? it is not a well style like the older units....it is actually taking the reading of the water temp....if flow in the boiler is not good it may be reacting to a "hot spot" at the top and tripping.....makes perfect sense why ur house is so warm if it keeps dumping heat....i would go with Slims suggestion and turn the High limit down to 170 and see if that makes a difference!!!! Keep us updated! Happy Holidays!
