EK2 System

and if I may offer a couple of suggestions, point the tees in your primary/secondary loop up. The oxides and crap from the old system will not make it back to the heat exchanger and boiler nearly as much if you do. Also, I would have suggested replacement of the oil line from the wall to the Tigerloop. I'm not being critical, only trying to help. Your work looks great.

This system was in Lloyd Neck , NY
Real beautiful peninsula connected to L.I. on the north coast . I heard the customer was burning almost 2500 gallons a season . Alot of room for improvement there .0 -
EK2 with the aquabooster
The job was speced with 2 injection zones , 5 zones total . The post purge functionality of the boiler required a whole bunch more wiring and controls . But it all worked out in the end . Now I'm ready for my first beer0 -
Thanks Ken
for the compliment and suggestions . I was wondering why all the diagrams showed the tees pointing up . Sediment shouldn't be a problem though . We added cleaner on the 1st day and on the 2nd day we drained it ( a few sweat leaks ), added more cleaner and purged the system with hot water . Normally we try to replace the oil line but we're going back in a few weeks to install a new tank .0 -

Thanks Gerry
There were 4 of us for the 1st day , and me and Paul went back to wrap it up . The wiring took up a good chunk of the 2nd day . And finding a suitable spot to run the fresh air vent out of a huge home and keep the length of pipe within specs was a chore , but Paul figured out a way .0
