Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on my current situation/
I recently woke up to a wet carpet in the living room. After some research, I realized the overflow valve on my Crown Boiler was leaking. I put a painter’s bucket (5 gallon?) a and the next day it was almost a ¼ full. It woud just trickle but them when the heat kicked on, the psi went over 30 and it would drain out pretty fast. I replaced the expansion tank and that seemed to fix the problem but not fully. It is about 95% better but it is still SLOWLY leaking out. I put the bucket under it and in the past two days maybe 1 ½ cup has come out. Not enough to completely cover the bottom of the bucket, but still, it is still leaking. It seems the PSI is still going up to about 30 at times. I tired to let out some of the water (pressure) when it got that high but that does not seem to have done anything. I am happy with the result of replacing the expansion tank but I want it so it doesn’t leak at all.
Anyone have any thoughts or tips on what to do?
Thank you very much
