ML30 Shutdown for the summer. What to do?
« on: May 05, 2013, 07:01:50 AM »
I am wondering what to do with my ML30 now that I do not need it for heat? (it is warm enough to shut it off) Drain it? leave it full and let the pumps run?
Any help would be appreciated!

Clean out the ash, spray down all the interior steel as best you can with a mixture of 30% heating oil and 70% transmission fluid, draw off a sample of the water and send it up to Brian at Portage and Main, they will test the water and let you know how much boiler treatment to add, after adding the solution let your pumps run for at least 2 days and leave the boiler full of water. Note the pumps will last longer if you occasionally turn them on for an hour or so during the summer months. If you need Brians address you can E-Mail or PM me.
