Went on one call today and had another query by Facebook about this
so I though why not write an article about it. Both persons were very
concerned as they saw water dripping from theirs boilers. A closer
inspection for both showed that it had nothing to do with the boiler its
self.
There are many things that can make water leak from your boiler. If
you know for sure that the water is coming from a hole in the sections
then you may have a serious problem. Usually though there is an easy fix
for that also, more on that in another article. Both boilers today were
leaking water from the relief valve.
This valve is design to relieve the excess pressure from the boiler
in case of a build up of extra pressure in the boiler. The extra
pressure can come from a number of different things. A few of the causes
may be a bad expansion tank, a bad fill valve or pressure reducing
valve, or an open bypass valve. The bypass is easy, just close it and
relieve the extra pressure. The others are not as easy.
