water problem in new furnace

George_10

Was the system cleaned and treated after the new boiler was installed?

I would have the installer look at it and see if there are any other mechanical problems which are contributing to your difficulties.

water problem

I had a new boiler put in this fall. The past couple of months right after my husband fills the water we have a problem for the first couple of days. The radiator in the bathroom shoots water out of its air vent during the beginning of the cycle and a radiator upstairs clanks a lot at the beginning of the cycle. This has never happened before the new furnace was put in. I wondered if my husband was doing something wrong when filling it. Why all of a sudden does this happen. It didn't happen the first couple of months after we installed it. The pitch on the radiator is fine (that is what my tech told me to check). Any suggestions. I don't want anything to happen to my new boiler.

level

It sounds as if he is putting too much water in the boiler, or that the piping above the boiler is not high enough to support the water level. There needs to be a certain amount of space above the water line for the steam. If that doesn't exist, the steam dukes it out with the water and tosses it all around- like up into the nearest radiator.
As a rule, the water level should be halfway up the sight glass. Also , be sure to check it at a consistent time of day ie: always in the AM, or always in the late afternoon.Midnight if you prefer, just be consistent. Generally the water level will be lower in the early AM, as the system has been working its hardest and the water is now steam upstairs. Later in the day, the system has settled down and the level will usually show higher.
If you can post a photo of the boiler, showing the front and the piping on top, there are some great minds here to advise you. They have taught me a lot.
