Hello everyone, I am purchasing a coal boiler. Specifically the leisure line WL110 model. My original plan was to plumb it in parallel with my existing boiler, but to my surprise yesterday, I think I found that my old boiler has an internal leak. The boiler is from the 80s so it is probably due time to just do away with it if it is leaking internally. I can hear a gurgling and water trickling down one of the return lines every 30 seconds or so, and the puddle underneath has gotten bigger since last night. I have checked top to bottom and haven't found anything leaking. This morning I shut off the supply line and I am going to watch the psi to see if there is a drop.
Either way I plan on installing the boiler myself, but will need some assistance along the way. I have a design for running it parallel, but I'm thinking its going to be much easier if I do remove the old boiler.
If your not familiar with the WL110 here is the manual, it is a dual fuel, oil and coal. pretty easy to switch back and forth. (broken link removed to http://leisurelinestoves.com/files/49536592.pdf)
I have pictures of the install site and current set up to share once I get off work today.
