Bought our house in February last year. Previous owner had the burner going and I continued to feed it through spring, haven't really liked around inside it till now. Couple questions on it now. It's a heatsource 1 unit, with underground lines and a pump in the backside of the unit. Here are my questions:
How do I know when it has enough water? When it runs out the top opening? Should the water opening have a cap?
There is a valve called expansion bladder valve. It was previously shut. Should it be open or closed? When I open it immediately after filling water to the top of the fill port, water comes out the end of the line. I don't see any "expansion bladder" at the end of the line it's just open
I hear water boiling when the water gets hot immediately after filling. After a while it stops. Am I over filling it?
Any other general advice on the mechanicals let me know. I've never had a wood burner and the manual is long gone. Previous owner had a history of not taking care of stuff (house is a fixer) so I wouldn't be surprised if things are broken on this unit too. It does pump water though and gets up to temp. Thanks for any help
