Hi,
We have an oil furnace that uses forced hot water to heat the home. The system also provides hot water to the household for showers, etc. It is a Connecticut home that was built in the early 1960's. I can barely afford this home so I've been trying to get every last breath of life out of this furnace.
My problem right now is that the system leaves a large puddle of water. After I mop of the puddle, another will be in its place 24 or
48 hours later.Last year a repairman looked at this and told us that the 'water jacket' is not cracked. The water is resulting from "overflow". He tweaked something and the problem went away for a long time.
Unfortunately he told my wife how to prevent this from happening in the future by turning a relief valve, etc. However, my wife was not able to effectively repeat his instructions to me.
Can someone give me some idea what I might do to stop the "puddles"?
