    commercial building low water pressure and temperature sometimes

    There is an overhead sprayer but I'm not sure if there is a faucet as well, I don't recall. That would be an easy fix. I'll check it out on Monday. Thank you

    commercial building low water pressure and temperature sometimes

    Electric HVAC in each unit for heating and cooling. Yes commercial kitchen like you describe. The utility kitchen guy who was telling about the problem before I left the facility 4 months ago is no longer working there to ask more about the problem and I just started working there again yesterday.

    Cut in cut off short range question

    Yes pump starts at 40 stops @ 44. I was experiencing lower water pressure at the faucets. I checked the tanks air pressure and it was low, only 25 pounds. My pump turned on at 40lbs so I increased the tank air pressure to 38 lbs. now so far the pressure at the faucets is better. However I...

    Gas boiler shuts down in a couple of minutes

    Looks like I have a small cap at three locations so I guess the cap covers a bleeder. I check it out, thanks.

    pressure relief valve blows off at 20lbs

    Thank you for your reply. I have a cleaning annually. I believe the fill is an auto fill. When I tap the expansion tank top and bottom with a wrench sounds about the same. The top of the tank feels warm and the bottom feels cool. I just changed the relief valve and the boiler pressure goes...

    Baseboard heat won't turn off

    This is a 70's condo unit. One boiler for the building. There is a device that the thermostat controls, this device has a lever on it that can be move between 12:00 to 6:00 counter clockwise. I think this lever might have been moved when the baseboard covers were removed during the summer. This...
