Re: System2000 water tank leaking
There is nothing special about the std storage tank… You can very easily modify an electric WH to fit.
I have done it a number of times.
Re: Pressure/Booster Pump for Residence with Low Water Pressure & Flow
Put a pressure gauge after the meter and check the pressure with nothing running. Then turn on both showers and see what happens. If the pressure holds or only drops a little the problem is in the house. If the pressure drops a lot get the water company back.
Re: Pressure/Booster Pump for Residence with Low Water Pressure & Flow
If your static pressure is around 40 psig, that is ample. What you are seeing, though, is somewhere in your system there is a big flow restriction. Without going over the plumbing rather carefully, it's hard to say what — but it could be as simple as a partly closed valve somewhere.
Before you go the expense and trouble of putting in a booster, you need to find that restriction — because if the booster is on the low pressure side of the restriction, it will work poorly if at all. They are designed to take ample water, but at low pressure, and boost that — but you don't have ample water.
Re: Testing a Taco i100C3R-1 Mixing Valve? -- SOLVED
Sounds to me your first step is to flush out the entire system …Use the flush to find and remove any blockage… The water problem is another issue …

Re: Ductwork design
Get a ductulator. The instructions are on the back. It will walk you through it. It is not rocket science. Then look for information on line.
Re: She canna take any more, Cap'n! She's gonna blow!
I assure you there are no other air eliminators in the system. Also all the components are connected per “pumping away” - boiler supply, air separator connected to water feed & compression tank, circulator. Pretty much by the book.

Re: oil boiler seems clogged, no flow
She's up and running. I rigged up these fittings and slowly increased to a steady 80 psi and then I started hearing hissing which I'm guessing wqs coming from the pipe right outside. But at the same time I also filled up the filter canister with oil so that could have been the problem as well
Re: sight glass issue
The reason you shouldn't shut both the hot and cold water off to the coil is I don't know if you have a pressure relief valve on the coil.
If you shut off both valves and the coil is full of water the water will get heated when the boiler runs and expand and possibly wreck the coil.
