Problem blowing out Low Water Cut Off - Lots of oil discharged
Hi everyone,
I recently moved into a new house with a Peerless [ECT-04-175-SP] Oil-Fired boiler. This boiler provides hot water for both our general water (sinks, tub, etc) and our steam radiators.
It has a Low Water Cut Off valve which, according to our oil provider, I need to blow out once a week to remove any rust or sediment build up in the pipes.
But every time I blow it out nearly a gallon of oil gets released until I get clean water. I don't think that's supposed to happen based on what I've read, but I am simply not familiar enough with these oil-based boilers to know for sure. Is there a problem with the installation?
Thanks for your help!
Sorry, I accidentally first posted this question in plumbing by Mistake....Apologies for the double post!
Oil? Shouldn't be getting oil. Oil would cause you to get wet steam and have banging of the pipes that would wake you at night.
Actually, we do get banging in the pipes upstairs and a lot of swooshing sounds. It's terrible, but I thought that was a result of faulty radiator vent or something. How does oil in the low water cutoff cause banging? And what do I need to do to fix it? Do you know how the oil is getting in there?
are you sure its oil......:eek::eek:
Oil floats on top of the water and has a much higher boiling temp, which causes the water to boiler violently. Kind of like when you allow a sauce to boil.
The boiler needs to be skimmed to get the dirt and any oil that the installers might have left into it.
is this boiler new.........
Thanks for all your responses. Im positive its oil. Its black and greasy. I made the mistake of dumping it in a utility sink, and had to rinse and scrub the sink to clean off the oil.
The boiler isn't new. It's probably about 10 years old, and it used to have an in-ground oil tank feeding it. When we bought the house, the sellers installed new Roth oil tanks in the basement. I have no idea how long the low water cut off or automatic water feed was installed. Our oil provider did general cleanout a few months ago and told me he though it was in excellent condition, but I don't think he realized the low water cutoff was having this issue.
Strange thing is that our bathing water is clean. its never murky or oily so I'm not sure what's happening. Maybe I need to call in a handy man to look at it? But I was hoping to fix it myself.
Don't use a handyman. You should only use a company tht knows what they're doing when working on a steam boiler.
Your boiler probably needs cleaned out. Chemical cleaners are made to clean out the boiler.
I do not think that is oil. Likely iron oxide which could be caused by draining off the LWCO too often, Are you sure the boiler is a "steam" boiler or a "hot water" boiler. Is there a gauge glass to show the water level in the boiler..if not, then it is likely a hot water boiler in which case you are draining off way more water than you should..when you drain off water then the pressure regulator feed valve adds more water to make up the pressure..this adds more oxygen to the system which reacts with the iron pipes thereby creating excess iron oxide which is black ...IF you have a steam boiler you may need a chemical cleaning (caustic soda) and somesome chemical treatment to deal with the excess iron oxide or other dissolved solids. However, from your description I thiunk it is a Hot Water boiler and system. Another way of checking is to check your rads..is there one pipe or two to each rad..is there a water bleed valve at top of each rad? Is there a pressure and temperature gauge mounted on the front of the boiler OR a steam gauge mounted on TOP of the boiler.
Please let us know. BTW if it is a hot water boiler STOP blowing down the LWCO..just adds Oxygen to system..system should be kept "closed" as much as possible. Just drain down once per year MAX
Boiler tech is what i would call
Kind of thinking you need to call a boiler tech. Hopefully someone that can explain the system operation. LWCO is your safety for your system. Basically shuts off boiler when lowest permissible water level is reached. Looked over an installation model on the peerless website and they recommend a certain kind of LWCO be used that blows down (surface blow down) of foam etc. when SENSED! to prevent damage to the heat exchanger. Be nice to the guy or gal and ask questions. Visit the peerless site and find a decent boiler tech.-
Take care , Joe
Yes, there is a gauge glass right next to the LWCO valve so I'm pretty sure it's steam. The gauge glass seems to get dirty pretty quickly though...I've had to remove the glass twice in 4 months already to clean it out. The water in the guage turns brownish enough where it's hard to know what the water level is, but it's not (oily) black dirt like the LWCO fluid.
I would be surprised if the LWCO fluid was Iron Oxide...it really looks like black oil.
I'll take all your advice and call a boiler tech via peerless to see what's wrong. Thanks for all your help!
Went to Peerless website and it appears you DO have a steam boiler otherwise it would not have had the LWCO installed on it. Their website states quite clearly that excessive water make up causes iron corrosion and can severely shorten the life of the boiler. Your steam system is also "closed" which, being used to production boilers where the steam is used and more water is required yours does not require OR should not require a lot of make up water and there should not be a make up feed water valve on the boiler...that said, you are blowing down too often and likely have to add water some how..this is causing the black slimy iron oxide...Just STOP blowing down your system is 100% return which means there are limited solids in the water and therefore should not accumulate in boiler or LWCO.
STOP blowing down..period..Only if you see water bouncing in guage glass or if the boiler shuts down intermittently due to low water then restarts after it has been off awhile then you may have to add a little water into the system and if the conditiond persist you will have to have the boiler chemically cleaned.
Additional explanation...think of your boiler as a full glass of water which, over time, some solids will settle out to the bottom of the glass..however, they will be minor and of no consequence UNLESS the solids are left and the water is replaced..this adds more impurities/solids to settle in the bottom PLUS more oxygen to react with the steel piping etc., SO, more blowdown = more solids = more problems. Remember you have a closed system. Do not drain or add water unless absolutely necessary. The regular blowdown procedures are for commercial boilers/systems wher the steam is used up in production and HAS to be replaced thereby resulting in excess sludge accumulation in the bottom of the boiler and in the LWCO therefore they have to be blown down to get rid of the solids. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH YOUR BOILER/SYSTEM.....unless it id losing excess water as in TOO MUCH blowdown OR system leaks.
Hope this helps. TechPappy
:eek::eek:Yikes---I'm no boiler man---but that advice could cost the homeowner his boiler----
The low water switch is inside of that valve--if not blown off regularly the switch will get packed with sludge and not work when it's needed.
After blowing the hell out of one boiler---I had two low water switches installed on the new boiler---both were blown off once a day---
This was a large boiler in an area with very hard water.
LBA...I would bet my life that is NOT oil in the water. It is iron oxide that is very very black and could feel oily depending on the PH..If you put some on a cotton cloth and let it dry it will leave a black but non oily stain.
From your further description you should drain all water from your boiler and refill and add about 2 cups of caustic soda READ HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS ...fill pail with water FIRST then add the caustic soda..It can explode in you face if you try to add water to dry caustic..then add to boiler and fill to bottom of guage glass. Turn boiler on untill just boiling then turn off to cool . Do this a few times then drain again. Repeat until water is clean. Refill with clean water and put back in service...Do not keep blowing down weekly..Guage glass should remain clean.

Welcome to week eight of the challenge! We only have two more challenges left, so if you've been with us since week one, you could definitely walk away with the grand prize.
LAST WEEK'S WINNER: Christine! Congrats. Please email Rachel[at]sheddingit[dot]com to claim your prize.
This week's test might be tough for some of you (and us). We're challenging you to go without added sweetener for a whole day. We're defining added sweetener as any form of concentrated sweetener, natural or not (this means maple syrup, agave, and honey are all no-nos!). This also includes artificial sweetener. Whole fruit is okay, as is any other non-concentrated food that happens to taste sweet. Watch for processed foods with added sweetener, though.
Leah has written about the healthiest way to sweeten, but really, we also need to get used to no sweetness at all. Once you start lowering the amount of sugar and sugar-like substances you eat, you'll notice foods that didn't taste sweet before suddenly taste a bit sweet. And foods that were sweet before now taste saccharine. It's all about reprogramming your taste buds to appreciate subtle sweetness — like the taste of plain cinnamon or vanilla.
I am going to work on this by taking the sweetener out of my morning coffee this week! Either I'll learn to like bitter coffee or I'll just stop drinking coffee.
When you're going sans sugar, notice when you crave it. It might be difficult to ignore the craving at first, but hopefully after a little while, the craving will pass. Once you've gone through a day without sweetener, share your experience here. As usual, you have until Sunday, April 25 at 12 midnight PST to enter. Good luck and no cheating!

Clifford Algebras with Numeric and Symbolic Computations
pp 295-315
Object-Oriented Implementations of Clifford Algebras in C++: A Prototype
- Arvind RajaAffiliated withInstitute of Mathematics, Helsinki University of Technology (HUT)
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
This paper describes an evolving library of data types and algorithms for numerical Clifford algebra computations. C++ classes for representing elements of a Clifford algebra Cℓp,q are presented. Examples illustrating use of the library are included. These implementations will form the computation engine of a new interactive program, which is also under development. The library illustrates how "high level" mathematical descriptions can be implemented, elegantly and efficiently, in a "low level" programming language. This is achieved by using the object-oriented features supported by C++ (data abstraction, operator overloading and many others) At the time of writing, fundamental operations with elements of a Clifford algebra Cℓp,q can be performed. Routines for evaluating transcendental functions of Clifford elements, via matrix functions, are evolving.

The family
It's not quite true to say that none of us has been on a horse before. Barney (10) and Joe (eight) have taken part in those holiday camp rides where you waddle off in a line with lots of other children. "How do you go fast?" one of them said when they got back. "I wanted to go really fast like in a speedboat." The instructor said they coped, but looked like "sacks of potatoes" - which is how horsey people always seem to describe their less-talented compatriots. I know lots about horses because, as well as having a few lessons, as a child I read all the Jill books by Ruby Ferguson. One of my early memories is being in the car a few months after riding a cob called Rufus - an experience I still dreamed of repeating - and hearing my grandmother say, "Is she still pony mad?" and my mother hiss: "Sssh, I think we're just getting over it."
Giles hasn't been on a horse since the age of three, when he screamed until he was taken off.
The training
Kingston Riding Centre, a warren of sleeping cats and prepubescent girls, is tucked away behind some lock-up garages on the skirts of Richmond Park in London. We arrived on a damp Sunday morning. Over the wall, mist swathed distant trees, deer lay elegantly amid beds of leaves. The rest of my family was in wellies; I was wearing a fine pair of Spanish riding boots. I'd imagined Anna, our instructor, would take one look at them and let me gallop off into the woods on my own. For some reason she didn't. Even when I started talking loudly about colic and asking how many hands my mount was. Mabel (three), too young for a proper lesson, was put astride a Shetland called Bobby not much bigger than our dog, and taken off into the park. Giles, Barney, Joe and I were shown into the indoor riding school, told to mount our steeds - by using a mounting block - and led into the ring on a leading rein. For someone who knows never to let a colicky horse lie down, and has experienced many vicarious clear-rounds with Jill, this was quite humiliating.
Anna, jolly and jodhpured, stood in the middle of the arena and called out instructions - how to sit and hold the reins, how to make your horse turn, how to trot, sitting (ouch) and rising (hard). Her policy appeared to be to dispense with riders' names, so it was our horses that received the praise. "Well done, Picasso ... Feel those bottom bones, Chivers ... " I didn't notice how anyone else was doing at first, as I was too busy concentrating on not looking like a sack of potatoes - but Barney and Joe seemed to be proceeding valiantly, considering the deliberate lack of speed. Giles told me the moment he got on one side, he thought he was going to fall off on the other, but he didn't scream. Later, Anna started drawing attention to the characteristics of each horse. "Bonny's very wilful. You've got the hardest job there, Bonny."
"Do you hear that?" Giles repeated, with the insouciance of someone who has learned to talk and ride at the same time. "I've got the hardest job."
Going solo
After half an hour, Anna finally let me try a rising trot without being led. Oh gosh (or crumbs, as Jill used to say), that was harder than I remembered. (I think saddles have changed.) "Good," she said, "just needs a bit of tidying up." Barney was allowed to go solo next. At this point, we were conducting a figure of eight across the arena - running rings around each other, so to speak. During Barney's rising trot, Anna said: "Everybody. Take a look at Chivers' seat. Perfect seat. And the way you're holding the reins. Well done, Chivers." I don't know who was scowling more: me or Joe. "Heels down, Costa," she kept saying to him. "Heels down. Not toes." He was getting confused - possibly about being called Costa.
Then it was Giles's turn. "Excellent," Anna said. "You have made such good progress. Well done, Bonny. You're a natural."
"I'm a natural," "Bonny" mouthed to me.
I didn't feel the need to answer.
We were off our horses and into the yard in time to see Mabel return from her ride on Bobby in the park - pink-cheeked, her hat a bit lopsided. I was distracted for a moment, having noticed how the stirrups had rubbed the leather on my Spanish riding boots (they were from Toast and are quite ruined), so I missed the detail of her homecoming, but she did seem to have enjoyed herself the most of all.
There was a sign on Bobby's stable saying "Bobby bites".
"But he didn't bite me," Mabel said, "because he knows me."
There was something in her tone of voice - a little bit too proprietorial, a little bit too eager - that has made me think we ought to steer clear of horses for a while.
Just until she gets over it.

Last month, about 137 Utah educators spent a week in China on the Chinese government's dime, er, renminbi.
Educators spent six days in Beijing and other provinces as part of the Chinese Bridge Delegation, a program sponsored by the People's Republic of China in partnership with the American not-for-profit College Board. The program aims to strengthen Chinese language programs in the U.S.
All together, more than 400 American educators participated in the program, which was funded by Hanban, China's official agency to promote the Mandarin language and Chinese culture. Participants paid a $450 registration fee while Hanban covered airfare, hotels and food.
The program was aimed at educators already involved in Chinese language programs. Delegates represented Provo City, Granite, Alpine, Canyons, Jordan, Salt Lake City and Davis School Districts. Several Utah participants said the trip was a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," noting educators' salaries don't typically allow them to take exotic vacations to places like China. They visited such iconic cultural sites as Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City and the Bird's Nest Olympic venue.
Provo City School Board President Sue Curtis went on the trip in hopes of enhancing Provo's Chinese programs, including Wastach Elementary's Chinese dual-language immersion program. Some 75 Wasatch Elementary students are currently splitting their school days down the middle, learning half of the time in English, the other half in Chinese.
"We, as Americans, need to realize most people in the world know other languages," Curtis said. "Americans are not as good at that because they think they can get by with English. People who know other languages are going to be the ones that make things happen."
Chinese should be available to Utah students, she said.
"I really feel strongly that this is the language of the future for our kids to need to know," Curtis said.
Provo School District's English as a Second Language Director Julene Kendell took part in the delegation two years ago.
"It was amazing just to really experience first-hand the culture," she said. "When you get to know the people and talk to them, you realize you are more alike than different."
Delegates spent their days touring schools, attending workshops and sight-seeing.
"I think it's a really good way for our countries to develop a better relationship and get to know each other better," said Cheryl Hansen, a professor of French at Weber State University and a delegate to the American Council on Teachers of Foreign Languages. "If we want to compete with China, we need to know their language and their culture. That's why they're close to being the No. 1 world leader. They've learned about us. We have to learn about them."
Stephen Whatcott, a world languages specialist for Salt Lake City School District, agreed the experience was amazing. Whatcott trains Salt Lake City School District's Chinese teachers. He says the trip will help him work better with exchange teachers because he's seen where they're from and observed the rigor, strictness and high expectations in Chinese schools.
Whatcott will be able to help them adapt to teaching in American schools, which greater emphasize creativity and individuality.
Hansen says it's important for American students to learn Chinese for economic reasons.
"China owns a large part of our country in investments," she said. "It's silly to think because they speak English, we don't need to learn Chinese. You don't understand their business culture if you don't speak their language."
And, she added, "the more languages and cultures you know, the better world citizen you become."

There's an absolutely glorious tree just a few houses down from us.
I love fall. Actually, there's something I love about all the seasons–they all have something special. The lack of seasons (or what I recognized as seasons) in south Texas was one of the things I disliked the most. Granted, it was nice to be able to walk around our neighborhood late at night to see our neighbors' Christmas lights wearing shorts and t-shirts…but I really missed the seasons I grew up with in Pennsylvania.
I can't pick one favorite season, but my two favorites are spring and fall. I love spring because everything is coming back to life; I love fall for the colors.
This was something else we didn't have in south Texas. Most of the trees were palm trees, and most of the rest were more bushes with superiority complexes. And we didn't get the temperature changes we need to change the colors of the leaves; the ones that did drop just went from green to brown and fell.
But the tree down the street–it's just perfect. There are some leaves that are still green:
There are some that are solid red and others that are solid yellow:
And then there are some that are beautiful blends that read as orange from a distance but look like red and yellow fractals close up:
And some are mixes of green and yellow, or even shade all the way from green through yellow to red:
Every time I see that tree, it makes me smile with unadulterated happiness. If only I could capture those colors, like say on a yarn…
Well, what do you know? I actually bought that Three Irish Girls Carpe Yarnem colorway, called "Whistle While You Work," before the leaves on the nearby tree started changing, so I had no idea what a perfect match they would be. So while I don't know what I'll be doing with that yarn, it will have to be something I can keep so after we move…since the Navy will be moving us before the next fall comes. Then I'll always have the spirit of that gorgeous tree with me.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/2/2013 (1597 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WASKADA — It was supposed to be the perfect end to a dream weekend.
On Sunday afternoon, less than a day after being honoured at a Brandon Wheat Kings' hockey game, Darren Spence, his two sons and the boys' friend boarded Darren's private plane for a flight from Waskada to Brandon.
Under freezing fog and icy conditions, the plane didn't make it five kilometres before crashing into a farmer's field north of Waskada. The impact killed all four occupants of the plane — Darren, his sons, Gage and Logan and their friend and teammate Dawson Pentecost.
"They were all free spirits," said Jason Ryden, who coached the three boys on their Pierson/Waskada Canucks atom hockey team.
With Darren by their side as a chaperone at the Wheaties game on Saturday, Ryden said the boys got a huge kick out of being shown and introduced on the JumboTron in front of thousands of fans at Westman Place.
"They were all so full of energy, so excited for the game," Ryden said.
Prior to the game, all 12 kids on the team went out for supper together, sporting their Canucks atom hockey jerseys as part of a "team building event."
"We got all the kids together and went to the Pizza Place, and all the kids went into the play structure and had more of a sweat on in there than they did at the hockey game, because they were all together and having a lot of fun," Ryden said.
Yesterday, the team was supposed to host Hartney in a provincial qualifier, but Ryden said the decision was made to cancel the series so they can focus on supporting the two families involved in the crash, and the nine remaining players of the team.
"We want to make sure the kids are OK and see where their minds are because there is a lot of questions to be answered for them and hopefully we can talk through it, but it's going to take some time to heal from this," Ryden said.
News of the tragedy spread quickly through Waskada, a village of about 200 residents.
"Darren was a great father and good community man," Waskada Mayor Gary Williams said while fighting back tears. "He was a positive upbeat person and any time you had an exchange with him you usually left with a smile on your face."
His boys, Gage, 10, and Logan, 9, were exactly what you'd think two young brothers would be like — happy, outgoing and curious.
"They were active, healthy, and probably a little mischievous. The way you should be at that age," Williams said. "They were all over town and everybody knew who they were and it wasn't ever hard to remember the Spence boys because they had that infectious grin."
While the Spence family grew up and spent their entire lives in Waskada, Williams said the Pentecost family moved to the village about six years ago from Alberta. Dawson, 9, immediately hit it off with Gage and Logan, almost becoming a third brother.
"He was a little quieter than the other two, but so nice and a good kid," Williams said.
Now, Williams said, the community will try to put the pieces back together.
"It's the worst thing that can every happen for a parent or a grandparent and it's both the good part and the bad part of being in a small community — it hits us hard, but we will all reach out and pull together to give these families the support they need to get through this."
At the school, a sign reading "Forever in our hearts Dawson Gage Logan Darren" stood out front, while the Canadian flag flipped in the wind at half-mast.
Counsellors specializing in grief and mental health were at the K-12 school, which has about 90 students, as it attempts to come to grips with losing three of its own.
"It's catastrophic," Southwest Horizon School Division Supt. Brad Kyle said. "It touches everyone directly or indirectly in some fashion."
While teachers huddled together in the hallway — talking, coping, and trying to make sense of everything — students spoke to counsellors in classrooms. Outside, children walked from the school visibly shaken from the emotional toll of it all.
"The counsellors will be here as long as they need to be, to make sure every one gets the help that they need to get through this," Kyle said.

"It's fantastic! Simple cute!!! I wish card was little bigger..or standard size..and it was a tad pricey for valentines day cards. But I loved them!!"
"It is usually so hard to find an appropriate Valentine's Day card for little boys to give out..but this one is PERFECT!!"
"We ordered for my daughter's 1st grade classroom valentine exchange. These were cute and fun and the kids loved them. They are smaller than I expected, but a great size. I will have 2 in school next year and plan to order these again."
"My 8yo son wanted cards that were not too sweet or cute. I wanted a card that wasn't another ad for a toy or TV show. This simple card was our middle ground. He thought the phone design was cool, as did his guy friends, while the photo placement allows you to highlight whatever aspect of your child's personality you like: silly, sweet, cool, your choice. I only wish they had more techie or graphic-novel cards and invitations to make older boys get this excited for stationery."
"Love how adorable these cards looked. Love you can also personalize the inside and add two pictures (on the front and on the inside) the girls all loved this style. Simple , sweet and super fun! Love these mini cards!!!!"

Letter: Lets press for recording county board meetings
Op-Ed · August 30, 2013
One point of discussion during the last election cycles county supervisor race was the televising of the county board of supervisors meetings.
These meetings are held twice weekly, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. They generally last about two hours.
This year, one Thursday per month, the meeting is held in the evening. All of these meetings are open to the public, and the night meeting was intended to allow 9 to 5ers a chance to participate without missing work.
While rarely offering the drama and intrigue of a good movie, the meetings deal with the nuts and bolts of our countys necessary governance. It is important work.
Most people who work cant attend these meetings. However, we have a tremendous tool available in the form of recording and transmitting information through television and Web sites.
This would allow almost everyone in the county to observe our board in action, at their available opportunities.
There has been a trend recently at many levels of government for using the tool of televising meetings for public distribution. While there is some monetary cost in getting this started, the opportunities for greater transparency and wider participation in local government outweigh this.
None of the candidates running for county supervisor seemed firmly opposed to televising these meetings, but after eight months on the official agenda, some mainly half-hearted discussions, and a presentation from a possible service provider, no decisions have been made.
Please contact the supervisors personally or through the countys Web site and urge them to get this tool working for us.

Toshiba has attempted to give the original TG01 a new lease of life by replacing its Windows Mobile 6.1 installation with Windows Phone. However, on no front has this resulted in a successful phone. Its large screen and fast processor could be useful if you want your phone to be a true mobile workhorse, but then if you want that you should get the HTC HD2.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) maintains the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). SNS consists of large quantities of medicine and medical supplies to protect the American public if there is a public health emergency, such as a terrorist attack, flu outbreak and/or earthquake, severe enough to deplete local supplies.
Once federal and local authorities agree that the SNS is needed, medicines will be delivered to any state in the United States within 12 hours. Each state has plans to receive and distribute SNS medicine and medical supplies to local communities as quickly as possible through Open POD (Point of Dispensing) sites.
Alabama SNS plans also include delivering medications and medical supplies through Closed Point of Dispensing (POD) sites located throughout the state. According to CDC, a Closed POD is primarily used to respond to a specific group or organization. The use of Closed POD sites allows for rapid dispensing within organizations and helps to ensure continuity of organizational operations, while also redirecting some of the population away from community Open POD sites.
For more information, visit Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response: Strategic National Stockpile.
All participants registered for the Tarrant Exercise on June 5, 2014 should view parts 1 and 2 of the Just in Time POD Training 6.5.2014 Power Point presentation prior to the start of the exercise.
