    Are there any risks with using Vinegar...

    to lower the pH of the boiler water in a Peerless boiler. I have been told that adding too much could potentially eat seals or gaskets?

    Would this be something specific to Peerless or have I been given false information?

    Peerless, of course, doesn't recommend it. They refer me to a chemical treatment co. which at the present time I cannot afford.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    9.95

    Boiler's rated for 1.5 million btus output. Not sure how much water it holds, but I added one cup and it dropped to 9.54.

    A month or so ago I added two cups, because the pH was over 11.
