General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Water Treatment

« on: April 30, 2017, 08:34:13 AM »

I filled my boiler up about a month ago without adding any water treatment.   Should I drain and refill before adding treatment?  I bought some Central Boiler 1650xl inhibitor plus and a test kit to check it.

Thanks!

I would be interested in where to find the grates as the one in my unit has a hole in it with some wire cloth over the hole for now.

I recently got the boiler running and i'm circulating water through the DHW coil in boiler to heat up the water heater for now.  I have been lighting a fire every other day or so and letting it get up to 180.  My boiler has a 3/4" vent line near the back upper right, I wonder if that's even the correct port for the vent? 

I would like to add an automatic solenoid damper on the front door operated by an aquastat at some point, the manual air control requires a lot of monitoring.

I just picked up an old Aqua 2 Model 500 water stove yesterday and I am looking for any additional information on it that I can find.  The unit I have was built in 1985 and it has a backup oil burner on the back side of it.  Does anyone still have one of these in operation?  Any tips on running it or proper setup?

Thanks!
