to hear from Ken. He made the statement about the manufacturer denying warranty coverage in the other thread. I have never heard of this.

    I was going to use a can of Squick in my new boiler as per Dan's final steps for putting a new boiler in service. The directions say to put it in dry. I went on line to search if I could put it into solution and I came up with this thread of do not use, void warranty, acts like cement at bottom of boiler. Question; Is Dan wrong!!! is this stuff no Good? what's the real story? I want to dry out my steam, but I do not want to set up a situation where I will crack my boiler.

    Sounds like

    you'd want to flush it out the bottom drain (or via a full return port sized nipple) AS SOON AS POSSIBLE after the particulate debris had flocc'd (clotted) and settled, so it didn't have a chance to set up.

    I have used squick since 1962 & never saw it destroy one of my boilers yet. i gotta be one lucky dude. it seems to work ok ,too. this is really confusing me. does this company know they are destroying all these boilers ? how do they get away with it ??? Or could one man's opinion be not totally correct ????
