Mud build-up in boiler
Options

Member Posts: 14
I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with a steam system that every year fills up with mud. Granted, we don't have a lot of these systems out there but this one customer has more than his share of service calls because of it. His system is a gas fired steam boiler that has two zones of hot water baseboard radiation. The mud gets into the impellers on the circ pumps and destroys them. Last year we put a Taco 110 on to try to see if that would help, but we were back today replacing a leaking bearing assembly. We flushed it again today. I did tell him if I could come up with any other information I would let him know. This was the only place I thought of.
Thanks much.

If the system has buried wet returns that are leaking, this will create mud.0
