Reach4 .... I didn't mean to mislead you ... the well is at my cottage. The cistern is is used at my farm. The water available to a drilled well at the farm is apparently quite brackish and unsuitable for domestic (or farm) use - this according to the local residents who have lived in the area...

Thanks I did not know that and will do so reading. As for water in the cistern - currently a truck delivers 2200 gallons into the 5000 gal cistern at the farm periodically. At that location a ‘jet pump’ in the basement brings water into the farmhouse from the cistern ... that pump is...

and got a big hydro bill. Hope this photo loads ok. This pump was pulled from my cottage well at depth of 150 ft. Its a Meyers approx ten years old . background: I need to keep a little heat in the cottage in the winter and the boiler ‘might’ call for water so the pump stays on. In the fall...

Was hoping someone knows the size/type of "O" ring I need to get to correct a leaking zone valve ... I can see water escaping from the edges of the square cover plate that is held on with 4 screws ... so far the motor seems unaffected and no water damage (lucky) ... also I can remove the motor...

:o:confused: Well the Furnace repair man (s) arrived on the weekend. Apparently the little round pressure gauge mounted on the back of the boiler isn't supposed to be on "0" :o ... I also learned what the valve was supposed to do on the cold water line that brings fresh water into the system...

Thanks very much for the suggestions .. I think you are right that something is shutting down the boiler and now I am inclined to believe I don't have a boiler "problem" but that something else not quite right. You are most likely right when you point out that their may be a blockage..... I...

I also posted this on the Water Heater forum - sorry for the double post but perhaps this is more a boiler issue.... My Aero indirect hot water heater and/or my Viessman oil fired boiler isn't working and there is a rythmic "whoosing" noise cycling on and off coming from inside the Aero DHW...

My Aero indirect hot water heater and/or my Viessman oil fired boiler isn't working and there is a rythmic "whoosing" noise cycling on and off coming from inside the Aero DHW tank. There is a Grundfos pump on the boiler hot water feed to the DHW tank just before the tank and it "feels" like it...

that makes a lot of sense - I wish I was more knowledgeable though. I know I have moderately leaky home (mid '80's construction) but I still have three CO sensor alarms just to ensure I am not creating a problem for myself. But here in Canada ... windows stay closed for quite a while in the...

Thanks .. I currently have a 4" flue and I am at 650 ft MSL according to a nearby airport ... Often thought about the inside air consumption for combustion ... It occurs to me that the clothes dryer, furnace and stove vent in conjunction with the water heater might draw more inside air than...

Does anybody know??

Have been lurking and based on this site I have decided to replace my 20 year old Ruud 50gal rental gas water heater with one of the BW GX series. But trying to make sure I choose the right one. So far the old 50 gal. tank seems to be adequate (but I think its useful life must be near an end)...
