Can you speculate why heat delivery in zone 3 was insufficient before the helper pump? How could the piping system be improved, considering the wasted length of PEX-AL-PEX tubing from the manifolds to the floor panels in figure 2?
An owner, who has never been satisfied with the performance of his heating system, decides that the boiler must be the root cause of all the performance issues. Not wanting to spend any more than necessary, he makes several calls looking for the lowest boiler replacement price.
Water chemistry significantly affects boilers, with scale buildup as small as one-sixteenth of an inch causing a 20 percent loss in heating efficiency and leading to corrosion, leaks, and potential boiler failure. Analyzing water chemistry beforehand is crucial for identifying necessary solutions and ensuring long-term performance.
