hi replaced a steamboiler on a counterflow steampiping layout recently and added a autofeeder. it would overfeed and i skimmed several times. seemed like condensate was slow coming back to boiler. i removed autofeeder and had them watch the level of water and it now does not overfill with feeder off and is not going off on lwco.the level is where they set it.so i am letting them manually fill so it doesnt over fill anymore. makes no sense. again i thought it was surging but no banging or surge issues. so i wonder if the condensate is just slow because of age and crud. the only wet returns are where it drops into new boiler from counterflow mains.also the previous boiler had no water feeder .like i say seems to be ok with no autu feeder
