I was wondering when you checked the air pressure in the tank and there wasn’t any, then you took out valve stem and there wasn’t any water coming out(wouldn’t that indicate that the diaphragm was still good?)why didn’t you try putting the air back in and let it ride? Someone could have messed with the air valve.
I got outa pinch once by pumping the tank back to 12 wit a bike pump. Was of course no water in it. It lasted another 2 weeks before we went back and replaced it
I have a 1960 boiler that worked great until there was a main break in the street. After that the boiler psi would go over 30 even without the boiler on. Could it be the expansion tank Or can I be the PRV. I tried shutting the feeder valve off ,The wheel turns but I don’t think it’s shutting off. Any ideas of what to do? I thought of putting a shark bite valve in front of the old valve.
Have you had any issues with those Zilmets? I’ve put a few in lately and the pressure was still rising. Wondering if the diaphragm is getting stuck to the inside of the tank
Hey Steve just wondering if you can give me a tip my pipes are banging in the house when my furnace reaches top temperature I bled it out real good let it run for a half hour but they're still banging could you give me any tips
What brand expansion tank do you recommend. I think the old ones where made better I got a 3 family house and tanks where installed in 1987 and still good.
watts are decent and resemble priced .....amtrol is good also but more money .just drain the boiler or take pressure of tank and check tank charge pressure it should be 12 to 15 lbs with no load / boiler pressure on it .
Another great video Steve, remain safe and keep us entertained 👍☝️💥💯🫵
Nice to see a clean basement
Basements are only as clean as the owners behind them.
Changed my tank and pump ,bleed the air out of my boiler last year she runs better 😊Great video Steve.

Great video Steve! You should make more vlog videos or telling stories! Thank you, have a great day!
Love the storys
Why not change out the relief valve anyway while the system is drained?
yeah, steve is great. My tank in pump house is kept by faith at 35- to 50 degrees. Mamma.
I'm not using the remote temp gauge this year! ha.
Steve is Great!

Did you still have to drain the boiler with that shut off valve being in line ?
to relieve the pressure yes ..drain it out
What pressure should the tank be
12 to 15 lbs .... all new tanks are 12 .. psi
Where the zone valves on the feed or return of the boiler ?
on supply side .. on this set up
