Re: How much rust...
Could the dripping just be condensation from the flue gasses ? I'd let it run and see what happens.

Re: Rectorseal 8-way boiler water conditioner
you don't want to run your softened water to the boiler,
get a line from the well before the softener,
have a water test done and see if you need other filtration, or treatment,
others here can explain better,

Re: Water heater replacement advice...
Thanks for the responses! Sounds pretty unanimous to go 40gal rather than 30 if only for cost. It really just depends on size. My boiler is in front of the WH with not a lot of space between.@edsut
@JUGHNE yes, it is raised off the floor by what appears to be about 18". Thanks for the pointer.
@EdTheHeaterMan I will look into a flex connector for the water line as well. That will make it easier for the "next" time. :-)
@Larry Weingarten not sure I understand regarding "...add a second magnesium anode...". Do you mean I modify a brand new WH before installing it, or is this a feature that I should make sure I get with whatever I buy?
To all: are there any preferred (or not-recommended) manufacturers?
I have installed probably, every manufacturers water heater that is made.
Probably over a thousand by now.
A company that I have found that is excellent Is Bradford White.
Check out Bradford White water heaters. They do things internally that others do not do.
There water heaters are a great investment through out there entire line.
Others are very similar and often a little less money initially.

I would just call Island Aire with the model and serial # of what you have. I am sure they can match it up
Re: Anyone getting parts or other shipments from overseas
It's hard to say anything out loud without being pigeonholed, but I wonder if there's more to the story than what the media is 'reporting'.

Re: Baseboard Heaters - Slant Fin - Maintenance
So, they have their own thermostat and they ask you for permission to increase the setting above 72F? I would go ahead carte blanche and raise their rent $20.
If they are otherwise good tenants, this seems a small hurdle to keep things on the straight and narrow, no?
Re: Baseboard Heaters - Slant Fin - Maintenance
keep in mind that the delta t between outdoor and indoor is an average of like 40 degrees f and the increase in heat loss with delta t is linear so raising the temp from 72f to 76f will cost like 10% more, the cost is pretty close to trivial compared to things like mortgage interest.

Adding tankless coil to Peerless Boiler
I am wondering how to remove the plate on my Peerless WBV -04 hot water boiler without the tankless coil in it. I am limited on space and need to remove my indirect tank due to leak.Oil burner only. While viewing the existing plate without removing the boiler cover I don't see bolts or screws. Can it removed so I can install a tankless coil and would a 5gpm be sufficient for a home with 3 people, 2 showers, one bathtub, washing machine and dishwasher. Location NJ.
Re: Installing circulator to boiler
Or use black pipe nipples on each side of the pump. Use split ring pipe hangers with 3/8 threaded rod with nuts and F & M plates (ceiling flanges) to mount the pump to something substantial
