3 techs looked at one of my MIL's boilers that was constantly overfilling off a VXT autofeeder- including two probe replacements.
None of them considered flipping the dip switches adjusting the delay in feeding to account for a sluggish condensate return. It's amazing the difference 6 minutes makes. 😉👍Trying to squeeze the best out of a Weil-McLain JB-5 running a 1912 1 pipe system.1 -
