I asked my BL dealer if the P&M Boiler treatment balances the ph, nitrites and water hardness and if I should pour in half of the gallon jug since the direction reads that it treat 200 gallons of water. The BL-2840 holds 90 gallons. He wrote back: "the treatment is sodium nitrate so it balances the nitrate level. Pour the whole jug of treat down the float tube as you fill the boiler, circulate for a day then test".

Slimjim, do you know if P&M Boiler Treatment balances the ph, nitrite, water hardness and what is your recommendation on how much treatment I should pour in for the furnace first start up this fall?

Go by the directions on the jug, pouring in the whole gallon is a waste, PH and water hardness is why the test is done, the initial treatment is just a guess to start off on the right foot

My exact thought too. What about the ph & water hardness? Are there chemicals in the Boiler Treatment to correct the ph & water hardness or do I buy chemicals separately to balance these two?

It should be fine but if anything else is needed they will let you know after your first test.
