Have a licensed contractor do a complete combustion analysis and burner cleaning. You need to have the flue analyzed for proper combustion. There is NO other way. I would also have the pop valves checked or T&P's. I would advise against shutting down make-up water which can be a code...

30 is a good number unless there are ridiculously tall ceilings. We figure 25 here and works great.

This.

It depends on what you're exhausting if an ERV would work or not. If it's dirty air/ fumes I wouldn't go with any Recovery. Like you said an Outside air duct tied into a Return of an Air Handler with a damper would suffice. An interlock that turns the fan on when you're exhaust is running and...

Not Stainless bud, but Cat 3 venting AS required by oem or AHJ. That can be SS, Alumized Steel, Porcenalized Steel, etc. Which is way cheaper. Again, it's up to the AHJ. Manufacturers have given us a broad range for which to install. Again, it's not a Blanket "must be stainless" is what...

This is what it has come too.... wow Like I said.... Model Dependant. Good grief.

B-vent is allowed for horizontal terminations by code. You have to follow oem instructions however to see their recommendations.

You will need to see if the fins are split. If so you will need to open them up as best you could. I start with water and a solution of pink con-coil. Carefully. Let it do it's magic and react then flush with lots of water.

How would my background determine the credibility of my posts? I asked questions regarding slab insulation for which my knowledge level was very little.

It is indeed.
