Central Boiler / central boiler water testing

« on: October 10, 2010, 06:59:40 PM »

After alot of the water boiling out of our stove, we had to add more water and another jug of corrosion inhibitor.We just cant get the water in the test bottle to turn pink.Suppose to have to put in 20 drops and no more than 30 to get the pink color to last for one minute.It just wont turn pink.Put in like 45 drops and nothing.Tested water that we used to fill the stove and the PH was 7.After putting water back in stove that we lost and circulating 24 hours PH was like 9 before adding corrosion inhibitor.Can't figure it out.Cant get water to turn pink at all.Don't know what to do. Need to figure it out before it gets too cold out.Does this mean the water is corrosive?

Central Boiler / Re: central boiler outdoor furnace getting too hot

It ended up being the cam latch on the door.I guess it was wore out.My husband changed the top and bottom ones on the door and also put in new rope. Thanks for your help!

Central Boiler / central boiler outdoor furnace getting too hot

« on: October 06, 2010, 06:29:45 AM »

We have a central boiler outdoor stove that we use for the radiant heat in our floors.We really like the furnace but have had some trouble with it a couple times getting too hot.This morning before my husband went to work he noticed the furnace was making a weird sound.When he went over to the stove it was way over 200 degrees and had boiled almost all water out.He had to turn temp up high in all the rooms to try to get the heat out of the stove so not to ruin the firebox.This has happened once before but not as bad.I hope it will be okay.Anyone have any idea why it would do this?The stove is only about 4 years old.
