| Hey NJ Trooper,
Sorry to not get back sooner-busy weekend. The only mystery for me in this latest boiler issue was why did it fire up that last time when the pressure valve released & all was revealed? I can't put my finger on that but it did & I'm grateful for it. The boiler is working like a charm & I even replaced the old mercury thermostat w/a brandy new Honeywell digital programable one. The water expansion tank seems okay but I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the info on the 'J' model aquistat. I can see the possibility of replacement. As for the pressure sensor, there has to be one somewhere 'cuz why would the pilot go out when the boiler shut off. Aren't safety control systerms usually the cause of pilot shut down? What's up w/the pipe from the aquastat into the boiler? Maybe that's where both it & the water temperature sensors/systems are? I don't know but thank God it worked otherwise I might be posting this from the stratosphere. Thanks again! DAS |
