Hoping to clear up some confusion about where the expansion tank is tied in to a system when using a hydraulic separator/low loss header 👍🏼 ... See MoreSee Less

Probably THE most misunderstood concept in hydronics. The location of the expansion tank and its relationship to circulators (or pumps if you prefer). You can put it ANYWHERE YOU WANT, so long as ALL pumps are pumping AWAY from THAT expansion tanks connection point. It used to be called the Point of No Pressure Change, but has since been upgraded to Point of No Mechanically Induced Pressure Change. Reason being as water expands, the pressure goes up, There's real eye opening video that Bill Armstrong put out years ago that demonstrates the critical need to understand this cncept. I will go find it and copy it back to your site. Technically speaking, if you had a 1/2" port on top of the LLH, you could pipe the expansion tank there, and it would work just fine. In fact, if you had no choice (lack of space) and HAD to put it near hte bottom of the LLH, if you had a dirt leg off the LLH, and a side branch for the expansion tank, it would work just fine. The velocity of water being expanded is so low that it wouldn't be able to carry dirt to the tanks diaphragm. But I do agree with not putting it directly below the LLH/dirt separator. You're asking for trouble from solder balls and copper shavings getting into the tank and destroying the tanks diaphragm. I saw Siggy earlier this month. He's doing some tours with Caleffi and just happened to be in Denver. Got me out of retirement to take in his excellent seminar.

Those Idronics books are always awesome!!

Wow! This is a very cool combustion analyzer. #auneshop #maketradesgreatagain ... See MoreSee Less

I took this photo on an estimate once 🤣 It was holding.. 🪙

What started as a fairly innocuous Contractor Spotlight turned into something much deeper. For Yossi Wachtel, president of Monkey Wrench Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electric, Los Angeles, the impact of the LA fires just hits different. “When the fire started, our typically overbooked dispatch board dropped to 25% capacity, but Los Angeles will rebuild so that’s not what keeps me up at night. What really shakes me is hearing a customer say, ‘Why fix the plumbing when we might not have a house to come back to?’ That’s not just a cancelled appointment, that’s a neighbor facing the unthinkable,” says Wachtel.

Well done Alan!

Monday Minute: Routine Maintenance

How often are customers asking for a water heater flush? Do you offer this as routine maintenance? While draining this water heater, my contractor said that for the unit being as old as it was—nearly 30 years—“it drains pretty well.” Yum!
