The Alagasco guy said that the old meter they just installed was broken.  So I have a new meter?

I could not get the boiler to cut on, so I hot wired the flow switch.  The boiler worked, but I thought the flow switch was broken.

So I took off the flow switch and checked it out.  Of course I messed up and the flow switch was fine.  I cleaned it up and it has to be the pump.

Not really sure how this pump works, but maybe the problem is the power supply?

I did get the heater to work today.

In the bay, the pressure does not seem to be 2000 psi.  I looked at my pictures when I replaced the unloader hose, on November 24 http://cwguy.com//?p=1483.  At that time it had the same pressure, maybe the unloader needs adjusting or is broken?  The only bad sign is the new unloader hose, it is bubbling.  Could just be a bad hose though, it was new.

Found an extra motor starter today, but not quite sure how to install it.  I will need to try harder on Monday.

My easy out was rusted together or something.  I needed the small bit, so I had to use pliers to turn it.  Now I know this weep system fix is flawed.  Can you point out all the problems?  Actually, this is not a test; you can post the answers for me.

When the solenoid is installed vertically it leaks.  Randy, I believe told me, that this is a bad idea, now I know why.  The last picture, is how much it leaks out of the first bay, high pressure gun.

This hose was the only hose Home Depot sold.  Could this cause a problem?  I believe that this hose has a 55psi rating?

Now the Weep Mizer question, this is a picture before I started messing with it.  The "outputs 1" light was not lit.  Is this a problem?  I believe that this is a problem, so I started messing with the settings.

I turned the output 1 "on" this seemed to make the solenoid turn on, when I changed to the target temperature.  It also turned the “output 1” light on.  When I was trying to fix this thing, a wire came out and when I was jamming it back in.  A fire ball tried to blind me.  Not only did I have a white light in my eye for a minute.  My glasses have a black mark on them and no, it will not come off.  I guess my glasses saved my eye sight again.

Hopper was not empty, error was "L HOPPER EMPTY".

Today, they turned off my gas.  They said something like, maintenance on the meter for the cold weather?
