Re: Converting a Peerless Boiler to Gas
have you ever done landlording? If you have, you’re either scraping by, doing OK, or rolling dough. Some people don’t have much money to keep the place habitable. This landlord is pretty cool, she throws us work here and there.

Re: Electric Anode rods
Hi, About SRB, (sulfate reducing bacteria). Try adding typical 3% drugstore hydrogen peroxide to your tank. I use at least one pint per 40 gallons, and see if the odor goes away. If it does, adding oxygen to the water killed off the bacteria. There's proof of the cause of the odor.
Yours, Larry
Re: finding a leak in a mini-split
the insulation on the line set ends must be sealed. If you don’t seal the ends with silicone or electric tape condensation will form and find somewhere to drip out.

Re: turbo torch tip sizes
To tell you the truth I hate the fear of using the torch . I have been dam lucky looking back.

Re: Electric Anode rods
I highly recommend a 7 or 8 amp corded electric 1/2-inch drive impact wrench. You can get a cheap one on Amazon for $50. One of those will blast out an old rusted anode rod in about 10 seconds, versus fighting with a 4-foot cheater bar that ends up twisting your water heater despite your best efforts to restrain it.

The field strength is significant for the phone in your pocket. it is negligible for a small transmitter hundreds of feet away.

Re: Steam Heat - Music to my ears
If I'm not mistaken, because there wasn't a bar there, she may have been decapitated and died instantly. Very sad. Her very young daughter survived the crash. That daughter is Mariska Hargitay. She plays a detective on the TV show Law and Order. Lt. or a Capt. now. Olivia Benson. I haven't seen the show for a while. I wonder how many lives have been saved since the "Mansfield bar" has been installed.

Re: finding a leak in a mini-split
NEVER use dye in a mini split.
The dye isn't actually a liquid, it's finely powered fluorescent minerals. What happens is it settles out. I had a Mitsubishi that someone put dye in. I took the compressor out, dumped the oil, rinsed the compressor with denatured alcohol several times, & was still getting small flakes out. It was a total loss, we ended up replacing the outdoor and indoor units.
