insulate the pex pipes. I have never shut my boiler down in 6 years,except for water changes. which has been less than a day. Those temperature swings will not do your boiler any good. I would say alot of condensation in your fire box. I would try to lower your water temp for the summer. Maybe 150 -160 cycle. good luck. :D
