Re: Cyclegard green light blinking and clicking rapidly - boiler wont fire
Low water level or even a bad connection to the probe shouldn't result in a rapid clicking sound. Prepare to replace the LWCO

Re: Best Material to Use for Drainpipes in Residential Homes.
Actually, it takes alot of practice with PVC to make it look good. You only have a short window of time to make sure everything is pitched correctly, skewed at the correct angles before the glue sets…Mad Dog

NEVER PUT OIL FROM AN OLD TANK INTO A NEW TANK
Re: Have you cleaned the piping system for a converted gravity hot water space heating system?
Unless you do a total re-pipe let sleeping dogs lie. You stir up all that stuff and you will never get it out anyhow and it will cause more problems.
use a strainer and a dirt mag a big one and leave it as is
Re: Have you cleaned the piping system for a converted gravity hot water space heating system?
The magnetic dirt separator is probably going to do far more for you than cleaning though putting in some valves to flush the mains wouldn't be a bad idea if it can be done reasonably. Wey rotor circulators really don't like ferromagnetic particles in the water.

Re: Have you cleaned the piping system for a converted gravity hot water space heating system?
Any idea how many gallons of water in the system? It may take a lot of cleaner.
I would pipe the new components, boiler etc with some valves and a loop so you could run a cleaner in just the new parts and piping.
This is where solder flux, cutting oil, pipe dope, assembly lube, maybe some storage debris will be. Now you may be looking at a gallon or less of cleaner.
A dirt/ magnetic filter will do the majority of protection.

a wye strainer or a dirt mag placed just before the return inlet to the boiler may be all you need
