    There will always be trolls/troublemakers, know it alls & back seat drivers on all these platforms & forums. Sometimes people can give some decent advice so as long as they’re not getting all bent out of shape about it & acting all crazy that a person is wrong for not doing something. There’s very often more than one way to do something & people do have their own ways just as they do.

Even had wiring harness that plugged in, bolted up. I was shocked.

    Our new Weil-McClain seems pretty solid.

Does anybody know what makes the Tekmar unit so much better? I argued for the simpler setup, but was told "The Tekmar just does the job much better". Anybody care to opine?

    Ya know folks, its like Steve always says "it aint rocket science". He always shows that the unit has good oil flow before deciding not to change the filter, now common sense will tell you if bad oil is going to stop up an old filter that had good flow, it will stop up a new filter also.
    The man doesnt like charging folks for things that they dont need, and has more work than he can handle. That says alot to me. KISS

      A filter is $.98 and takes 5 minutes to replace. SILLY to not change it. I’ve said it before as well. A proper oil boiler service is COMPREHENSIVE. If you’re not going to service it soup to nuts, then don’t even bother.

      @@SureShotImages i agree and also respect your opinion but we have all watched these videos and have seen good oil flow through the pump. Old or new, the filter is releasing the correct amount of fuel for good boiler operation. Its no different than the fuel filter in my truck, if its allowing good fuel flow at routine maintenance intervals it does not get changed. I have driven vehicles more than 200,000 miles and never changed the fuel filter. That being said, im sure that you are a good tech and just want to do a good job.

    If you're going to be down there doing the annual cleaning, why wouldn't you change the filters? You may have good oil flow now, it may weaken before another 12 months passes. Not changing the filters is just silly. And the boiler should be brushed and vacuumed.
