1600 gals? Holy **** x2! All the heat going out the roof? Can't help with your question, but I too have a Weil Mclane (gold series) that I installed with my BIL's help back in 97. I'm the only one who services it and its been flawless ever since. 2K sf 2 story home and 600 gals lasts a full...

Talk about 'over the top'!! and that's meant as a HUGE compliment btw. I like the overall look and it really appears the garage was there from day one. I've been silent all along but checking this thread for updates every time I login. Can't wait to see the end results with everything...

Do you have any experience mowing steep slopes? This one looks like it's at least 25° and trust me...mowing it is not for the weak and timid especially if it's your first time. There are plenty of machines out there that will safely mow that steep, but your confidence and ability to react at a...

If the pipes were noisy or you could hear water running in the pipes, then yes the system likely has air. There are several possible causes, one of which could be a problem with the make up valve. You really should try to find the cause of the air being admitted or loss of water. If you do...

You need a new T&P valve as your current one is spent. While it's a good practice to cycle this valve once a year or so, let this be a lesson not to do it during the winter/heating season. And more importantly, the T&P valve is not designed to be an air bleed device. Why were you bleeding it...

I stand behind my statement based on what I said...PERIOD. I don't want to get this thread locked for the sake of the OP so I'll leave it at that.

And yours is an equally ignorant statement considering you do not know his profession, background and experience. But I can stand behind my statement with confidence and authority because I do
