Steam Video

in THE MAIN WALL
I have video in an attached zip file of my site guage. The video starts about 4 minutes into the cycle. It bounces a lot. Is this normal. To view the video just unzip the file and play it in Windows Media Player. If you have any problems just shoot me an email.

    It's One Pipe

    Steam System. I just had the tankless coil replaced but the water level has always bounced as long as I have owned the house (2 years). What do you think of the bouncing and the level in the glass?

    It's not too bad,

    but the boiler could probably use a good cleaning.

    thanks Dan

    How would it be cleaned? Do you mean skimming? I looked inside the steam chest when my tech was replacing the coil and it was all red inside. It looked like red scale deposits.

    I'd try TSP

    like it says in the book, Tom. Might be best to have a pro do it, though.
