Second Question:
We are finding not a lot of pressure in the hot water. Is there a pump you
can add to the hot water outlet side to increase pressure? We are on an
artisan well if that matters.

Do you have a pressure gauge? You should be able to get an
inexpensive one that will screw on to any hose bibb. Would be nice to
know what the pressure is before and after the boiler. You could get
hot water pressure after the boiler by screwing the gauge onto the hot
water connection to your washing machine. (And clean out/replace the
little cone-shaped filters in that connection while you are at it,
along with any others in sinks, bathroom facucets, etc) You could
also compare it with the cold water pressure at the same spot.
I'm not an expert, but I would guess that this information would be of
benefit to those who are in their attempts to help you. In the
interim, you could visit the mfgrs web site, and/or call him to find
out what his specs are for pressure in, recognizing that there is
probably a reducing valve in the system already. You might even luck
out with the install sheet for you boiler, or some suggestions as to
what might help.

You could also ask in this forum:

If you do, make certain you have all the name/model/etc data in your

If in fact the coil in the boiler is plugged and needs replacement,
and the boiler is old, you may have trouble find one, or even getting
the old one out. I'm nursing one along now waiting the day I have to
scrap the boiler because I can't find a new tankless coil, and would
probably break the bolts off trying to get the damn thing out if I
could find one.

YMMV
