Hi, first post but did do some searching.
Have an oil fired Burham with a tank-less HW system. Short run of 1/2 copper tubing to the shower. My boiler is old and will need to be replaced in the near future. Hoping it lasts till next spring. My boiler runs about 180 with a tempering valve that looks pretty tired and crusty.
My 20 year old Moen had very poor regulation and was showing its' age so I replaced with a Delta series 17 valve with temp control and volume handle.
I am still getting poor temp regulation and I understand from reading and talking to Delta it's the pressure differences between hot and cold supplies.
I have some questions about possible solutions.
1. Would adding an indirect HW tank solve it? please explain how?
2. Can I put the Buderous LT series tank beside my Burnham till I get the G125B or GB125BE boiler later?
3. Can my problem be the old tempering valve?
4. Semi-clogged coil?
5. What type of good quality single handle valve would be a better choice?
6. Is an Inline remote pressure balancing valve located near the shower a viable solution?
looking for short term cheap solutions with a long term boiler replacement in mind.
Thanks for your input
