Glowcore GB607--replace or keep

in THE MAIN WALL
We have a Glowcore GB607 I installed 18 yrs ago. Its still running but I hear that the coil is subject to pin-hole failure and that I should replace it ASAP. What's anyone's
experience w/ this coil. Is it worth replacing as a part--I don't know if its available anymore or should I go with a Weil-Mclain CGs series since this is all baseboard heat

Thanks, Ray

    replace

    replace it but I would wait till it fails. they are no longer made and parts are very sparse. Triangle makes a nice install. I would have put one in when my Glowcore heatexchanger failed last year the day after Christmas but I put in Munchkin because i did not know of the Triange. If it has been running 18 years it's a keeper I do not know of any other that lasted that long.

    You are on....

    borrowed time. Start planning now to replace it as soon as heating season is done.
    Yo can do better that the W-M CGs. Triagle tube is a good product IF you can find one... Embassy has a great line of boilers BMS, AXIA and the new Onex.
