Running a G 200 ! noticing a slight drop in water level . Does not peak out at full , down about 1/4" from full at end of cycle . Have not added water for 2.5 months . Thinkin I might  add a gallon or two pre treated with OWB furnace treatement . Any Thoughts

Mine seems to always stay about a quarter inch from all the way up. If I fill it to the tippy-top....it burps over and always stays about a 1/4 from the top

Ours has lost about 3/4” on the float in 14 months. I need to add some when I get home in a couple weeks.  Figure that’s a few, 3-4 gallons maybe? I know it tapers a bit at the top?

Don't add til it's getting into the orange (a third of the way down)or it'll burp out at the hot end of the cycle. The tank is round so it doesn't take much to push up. The gauge only shows the top 5 or 10 gallons.

I've added nothing at all to mine in a full year now.  1st anniversary is 4 Jan.  I would guess I might need a gallon or three, but that's it.

Not like the 100 gallons a week I was adding to my old boiler.   :bash:
