Leak on pump
« on: February 06, 2014, 07:34:14 PM »

I have an Aqua-Therm 145. The inline pump has a a "screw" for opening and closing the flange on the pump. Last week or two I've been dropping pressure (16 psi down to 10) over the course of a couple days. I've refilled and tried to bleed any air from the system but pressure still drops. So I started looking at everything closely and there is a bit of water in the hole on top of the pump where the screw is, plus a little bit of steam coming off it. So I think it's leaking right there and evaporating off so no obvious signs of leaking or dripping water.

Does this screw have an o ring or gasket that might be bad and can be replaced, or can the whole screw be replaced, assuming it screws all the way out? Thanks
