Had a blower motor failure while starting up for the season. Luckily I had a spare motor on hand.. However I was unable to get the old squirrel cage off the old motor without damaging it so I need a new one,, should I call p&m or is there another avenue I can go to get one ASAP.?

Portage & Main / Replacing nossel

« on: August 29, 2016, 07:14:09 PM »

Any one had a hard time getting the old nossel out of the 250,? I've tried a small automotive screw jack but it seems to be taking a lot more pressure than I am comfortable with. I don't want to ruin the base it sits in. Any thoughts?

Thanks slim.. Yes I can wait it's working fine the hole is just opening up more and more. Can't complain this is my 3rd winter ... Very pleased... Big wood mentioned to me that they had a 250 that has rust issues and that you and he had discussed a preventative maintanence plan I might wast to consider???

I have to admit I can't take the credit for the plumbing on my system slim Jim did it. The guy is a true craftsman anyone who has one of his installs will agree. Thank you again slim for convincing me to spend a little extra it sure is worth it now three years later..

Inlet and outlet on both sides of the plate exchanger have shut offs with garden hose fittings along with isolation valves on all four so I can completely separate the exchanger from the system to service it or even remove it if it need be.

Well I gave the heat exchanger a good flushing today with a drill pump and a couple of washing machine hoses. I used a gallon of clr. Wow amazing how much crap that stuff will remove... Did each side of the plate exchanger 2 or 3times...nasty ... Thanks big wood for the suggestion on using the drill pump very easy job..
