    How old of a system?

    The black could be rubber, Solar roll, or some polypropylene "well pipe" tubing. What type of fittings and connections?

    Can you show us a picture.

    This is a heatway setup,not here to bash heatway,for the
    most part not a bad job.
    There are other issue here,like no Isolation between the boiler and the ? tubing. Also no protection for low return temp.There is sluge in the system,so i am not sure if its from the well water or the tubing.
    Other then the boiler now being twice the size it need to be
    with all the improvement to the envelope.
    Its this pipe that worry me,never seen it and don't know anything about it.
    Thanks Kevin and Hotrod,and yes i will try and get some pic.

    Oh by the way hotrod,thanks for the tip on the water treatment.Used the hydro-solv 9100,I would have never thought that there was so much crap on a new install.
    Thanks to all.
