17 Years

Hi all. My 41 gallon Boilermate started leaking this week after 17 years of good service so today I applied some epoxy to the leak to slow it down a bit. It's replacement will be a Lochinvar Squire 40 gallon unit to go with my Lochinvar boiler. Hopefully it will be a good choice as I was a bit undecided between that and the Superstor Ultra 45.
Any suggestions or comments about the Squire?
Thanks.

First thing I did was call Amtrol but since I am technically not the original owner of it, they wont help me out. The replacement coil costs $977 believe it or not, so no way am I going to invest that kind of cash into it. I have had great luck with it considering all the horror stories I have read regarding leaks and electronics failures in the newer models, but I knew I was on borrowed time with it. My Knight is only a few years old now so hopefully the Squire will work well with it and last a decent amount of time.
One thing I am concerned about is that both the domestic and coil connections are piped 3/4" on the Boilermate and the Squire calls for 1" all around.
Thanks.
