Re: Scrubber and adding chemical
The nice thing about the Milwaukee is you can turn your back on it and not worry about the 30 lb relief valve going off. Mine peaks out at 21 psi.
If it is plain water or you are purging out and back into a bucket no worry.
If you are trying to pump just a quart of conditioner you need to watch it. Although it is not really an air compressor so not much air will go in from the pump.
It is a rubber paddle positive displacement pump, so it will not take a lot of dry running.
And use short hoses so all the product is not in the hose instead of the system, when you shut the pump off :)
These Little Giants will move a lot more GPM, but only about 11 psi. Good for a quick fill, a little shy on power to purge..

Re: one boiler,two risers,one main-question.is that more efficient? twice the steam,4 same fuel burn
also, make sure your near-boiler piping is insulated. So many times it has been removed because of asbestos or boiler change or repair work done and then not replaced because of the cost.
Read some of Dan’s essays on near boiler insulation. The amount of heat lost during the first few feet of piping is staggering. Purchase the correct 1 inch insulation and if you are handy, you can do it yourself. You will make up that cost in one season.
Re: Pilot regulator type on a Cleaver Brooks
Either regulator will work as the pilot regulator as long as the incoming gas pressure does not exceed it's pressure rating. That said, to find out which one is allowed on that boiler system, look for the insurance certificate which is supposed to be displayed in a conspicuous location in the vicinity of that boiler. Call the phone number for the insurance company listed on that certificate to find out which one or both are acceptable for that installation. The insurance that covers that boiler usually determines what controls are acceptable.
Re: Tekmar 564 compatible with Steam system 2 wire heat only?
What's the difference between your added isolation relay and just using Rh1 and W1 ? It seems like Rh1 and W1 are isolated contacts.

Re: Warm morning blower not shutting down
This is a vented space heater, Correct? It sounds like there may a part needed, that operates the fan. also the Whoosh tells me that you need maintenance.
Since The company that makes Warm Morning is no longer in business, you will need a professional that is familiar with older equipment. Some kid just out of trade school won't know what to do with it. The part needed for the fan to shut off earlier will need to be matched up at a supply house that has a knowledgeable counter man that can match up parts, not some new kid that only knows how to look up parts by the model and serial number of the brand of heaters they sell.
Good luck finding that guy.
Re: Pilot regulator type on a Cleaver Brooks
It may depend on what your incoming gas pressure is. Measure the inlet gas pressure and compare that to both regulators specs.
Re: Warm morning blower not shutting down
it’s shutting down on a safety.
call your service provider.

Re: How to avoid this again? Rust hole above water line burnham in4
@ethicalpaul I have double tappings with drop headers.. and the guy that did the replacement said that would the best solution for a January boiler replacement since everything lined up..no black pipe repiping, everything just fit into place.. basically slide out and slide in..
And at the time, I had no idea the burnhams had this reputation or problem
Although he wouldnt recommend Burnham, and usually installs WM from what I remember…

Re: "Duel fuel" Indirect
Just about any "solar" tank is set up this way. I had a customer recently that purchased a Richmond solar tank from the big box store and we tied his existing evacuated tube system into it, but any heat source could realistically perform the same task.
