I found this photo over at ElectricalContractor.net. I'm not sure but it appears that someone rigged a bug sprayer to pressurize the hydronic system.

You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.

    System Pressure:

    Must have been reading some DIY heating site.

    I'm particularly impressed with that R-19 foil insulation covering the pipes. If it's that important to need to use a bug sprayer to maintain pressure, I'd hate to have to look for a leak.



    A cheap out if you want to maintain pressure with Anti-Freeze in a system. A lot cheaper than using a Well Extrol tank, pumped up with solution and connecting it to a boiler drain before the fill valve.

    Steamhead is Wrong. You CAN fix stupid. There's an example of it.
