Boiler releasing too much water.

N. Spears

I have a single loop boiler system with baseboard heat. I am having no problem with the house being heated. The problem I am having is that the pressure release valve outlet is letting out gallons of water per day. Currently I have a bucket under it to catch the water. I am emptying this bucket at least twice a day. I made sure all the radiator were full with now air in them. I even tried turning the water temperture down some, but it is still letting out a lot of water. Can anyone provide any assistance? Thanks.

Relief Valve

If you have a expansion tank with a bladder.the expansion tank needs to be replaced.it could be your automatic feed as well but chances are it is your expansion tank.

Expansion Tank

I agree with Wheeler

Heat Exchange coil

If you have a tankless water heater or indirect fired water heater, the coil could be leaking household pressure into the system.

be

careful. Call a pro in to look at it ASAP. If that valve blows off at the same time you are messing around with the bucket, you can really scald/burn yourself if the boiler is up near high limit.
