Maintenance for Furnace

Change fuel filter

Maintenance performed on 11/6/2004

Changed the fuel filter.

Reconditioning

Maintenance performed on 2/13/2005

Got burner back from Sure Marine for reconditioning.

Also installed new burn tube.

 

Check coolant level

Maintenance performed on 8/13/2005

Check the coolant level in the reservoir in the faux stack.

The coolant should be 50% distilled water and 50% glycol.

Good.

Maintenance performed on 10/16/2005

Check the coolant level in the reservoir in the faux stack.

The coolant should be 50% distilled water and 50% glycol.

Checked ok. Added about 1 1.5 cups.

Check acidity

Maintenance performed on 10/30/2005

Very alkaline.

Change Garber fuel filter

Maintenance performed on 11/26/2005

Skipped: Change the fuel filter annually.

Sure Marine (800-562-7797) strongly recommends the use fo the Garber brand fuel filter. If a vacuum guage is installed, change the filter at - 2 lbs over installation reading.

Replace Perry Walter Filter

Maintenance performed on 11/26/2005

Skipped: The coolant is still very base.

The Perry water filter / treatment filters rust and corrision particles from the system while adding more inhibitors and conditioning to the heat transfer soution. Effective treatment for the Perry filter with the PFC-24A filter cartridge is 24 gallons. This filter is avalilable from Sure Marine 800-562-7797.

 

Check coolant level

Maintenance performed on 12/11/2005

Checked the coolant level in the reservoir in the faux stack.

I found the level low and refilled it. I checked the heater and found about 1 pint of coolant in the catch bottle but could not find out where it came from. I also found some fuel leakage from around the supply and return line ends. I tightened up the ends, but the lines should probably be replaced with pressure fuel line.

Maintenance performed on 1/22/2006

Checked OK.

Check the coolant level in the reservoir in the faux stack.

The coolant should be 50% distilled water and 50% glycol.

Change Garber fuel filter

Maintenance performed on 2/25/2006

OK

Maintenance performed on 4/21/2006

Check the coolant level in the reservoir in the faux stack.

The coolant should be 50% distilled water and 50% glycol.

Check coolant level

Maintenance performed on 5/27/2006 at 3942 hours.

Full up.

Check acidity

Maintenance performed on 6/28/2006

Use the pool test kit and test for acidity. Keep the PH Factor in the 8-9 range. Acid is lower than 6. If the PH drops below 8, then change the Perry water filter. This filter has a built in alkaline material to assist in keeping the water alkaline.

Check coolant level

Maintenance performed on 7/3/2006 at 2942 hours.

Checked ok.

Maintenance performed on 8/5/2006

Check the coolant level in the reservoir in the faux stack.

The coolant should be 50% distilled water and 50% glycol.

Maintenance performed on 9/28/2006

OK

Check acidity

Maintenance performed on 10/15/2006 at 3005 hours.

Skipped.

Check coolant level

Maintenance performed on 11/12/2006

OK

Fix leak at hot water tank

Maintenance performed on 11/12/2006

Red hose entering the tank box was leaking. Loosened both clamps and pushed hose further in to seal it. May require sealant at some point.

Check coolant level

Maintenance performed on 12/17/2006

OK

Change Garber fuel filter

Maintenance performed on 12/17/2006

Skipped. I think I will wait until spring.

Check coolant level

Maintenance performed on 2/3/2007

Checked again. Needed additional coolant last week but not this. Have rigged up an overflow bottle to see if that is where it is going. Still suspect the heater water circulation pump is doing something odd.

Check acidity

Maintenance performed on 2/3/2007

Checked ok.

Replace Perry Walter Filter

Maintenance performed on 2/3/2007

Skipped since water PH was fine.

 

Sealed around the fuel lines

Maintenance performed on 2/18/2007

I noticed that air was being pumped out the rubber gaskets that are placed around the fuel lines. I think this was air meant to be burned and thus was enrichening the mixture. I used high temperature RTV sealer.

Check coolant level

Maintenance performed on 3/6/2007

Seems all sealed now.

Maintenance performed on 5/5/2007

all ok

Check acidity

Maintenance performed on 5/12/2007

Tested and measured above 8.2

Change Garber fuel filter
