I’m a custodian/boiler operator and I’ve replaced the media a few times but I’ve always replaced them when the boiler was still on. I didn’t know that the exhaust is tied to the drain line 😮 Thanks for the tip
Wow the CO2 saturated water had dissolved that neutraliser, I was very surprised there was no pH sensor on the outflow. It has probably been dumping CO2-acidified water down the drain for months. The gunk left behind shows how many impurities there are in the orginally supplied media. Especially if it contained such a small amount of media as you replaced it with. But then in this application, you don't need the expensive high-grade mineral. You won't be poisoning anything down the drain. Plus there is probably an insane markup. A pH sensor tied into the management system would at least give the building engineer a heads up for when the media needs replacing. Or you could use a more cost effective way to remove the CO2 from the saturated water. But here is nothing like a magic filter though, to make the customer feel good about any system 😉 Good luck, I love your videos. I learn so much. This is the first video I've seen with chemistry actively used 👍 maybe I've missed a few 😅
Glad to see all the training paying off with Chris. Funny that the youtube videos have gone on long enough to see that progression. Nice work with the dynaflames, definitely they are tricked out lol.
Boiler has some harmonic noise. You may be able to change the operation so it skips past certain firing modulation rates where the noise occurs. Some follow-up work for you
I'm an old propulsion boiler operator/repairman and when I read "Replace Condensate Neutralizer" I was thinking boiler water not exhast condensate because we used morphaline to combat rust/scale in the steam cycle. It might be an advantage for the onsite guys to build a couple of spare units to be easily swapped out real quick like on schedule when need be.
I had 2 of those on a 1500 gallon tank. Got them installed new. One lasted about a year and lost its heat exchanger. Both were bad about losing igniters.
I would have had my helper do that whole job, easy and perfect for them to get some hands on and learn. I would stand there and tell them exactly what to do and watch. That's how I learned.
I always wear the Klein soft knee pads under my uniform. Every time I kneel down, I'm thankful. I would always forget my pad or lose them on a job. Of course, no one has seen anything when you go back looking.

每次看到精彩的地方都忍不住赞叹，真棒！
Nice job as usual JMT ... Thx
It's common for those to become clogged. The acids in the water react with the neutralizer and form sludge. The refills I use look like gumballs.
@topher8634 Thank you for your input. Makes sense. Thanks for watching! 🔧⚡️
The School I work at just installed 2 cleaver brooks high efficiency boilers. They are wicked!!!!!!
Great Video Thank You Brother
This is great video and training and learning. Thank you
In school for this right now. Doing a winter course 16 weeks condensed to 3 weeks. Hydronic pumps & boilers. 3rd day of the class
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year. How long have to replace new Condensate Neutralizer Media ?

I was looking for someone to say something! Thank you. It’s probably burning rich. Grab the analyzer and tune that bad boy!

I have a question about a residential countertop icemaker if you know anything about them

Great job
Wow that looks neat

Very interesting
@genewheeler6320 That's the best way to learn. When I worked in HVAC out of high school, that is how this one guy teached me.
Interesting.
@terryh8421 I think so too! It was cool to see everything involved here. Learn something new everyday 🔧⚡️ Thanks for watching!
This should be done on a semi or annual basis depending on run time and size of the neutralizer you install
I worked on those in the hospital
😻💚💜💚
ITS CALLED CARBONIC ACID
Nice but please protect your knees
