Re: Gravity compression tank connection
True. At least until the bladder fails. But why not just use the steel compression tank? Too simple…
Re: Reanimating Frankenstein - a gravity heat story
TRV's will regulate the room temperature and the outdoor reset will regulate the temperature of the water needed to heat the building at that time. Adjust the outdoor control to heat the coldest flat and the TRV's will slow the flow to the other floors or rooms to prevent overheating .. The old thermostat serves no purpose other than another switch .

Re: Searching for Knowledgeable help with W-M Ultra 230 boiler
This may or may not be his area of expertise. If not he may know someone who can help.
Are the pool chemicals part of the issue? You do have a heat exchanger between the boiler and the pool?
Re: Vesta VRC repeated purge
Sounds like it could be the air proving switch for the inducer. Check tubing for blockage or condensate not draining etc
Or could be ignitor/flame sensor.
Not familiar with that boiler
Re: Steam Boiler Pressure & Some Of My Adventures
If that were mine I'd use a standard gauge and pigtail. You can clean a standard pigtail, but not an internal syphon.
Re: Reanimating Frankenstein - a gravity heat story
TRV work well with gravity system, perfect way to balance the heat in a constantly circulating system. No worries about deadheading the pump either.

Re: Am I blind? Not seeing the gas shut-off valve.
then that is the shutoff for the boiler.
I think you said it was 3 story. if that is the case the pressure needs to be around 18 psig to fill the system to the top

Re: Gravity compression tank connection
A B&G Airtrol fitting will prevent that. This is my preferred setup, since it eliminates the diaphragm or bladder which eventually fails, necessitating a completely new tank.
Re: Ever use an off brand press tool?
I’d think the jaws and tools would need to be designed as calibrated pair from factory. I know from experience jaws do go bad and have learned to replace if you get more than a couple leakers on clean jaws. I’d be concerned you would risk same issue with mismatched system.

Re: Gravity compression tank connection
If it is gravity the bladder tank will work but the microbubble air separator won't do much for you.
