BOILER LEAKING WATER OUT EX TANK merch = teespring.com/... / stevenlavimoniere lavimoniere productions llc subscribe to my channel / @stevenlavimoniere lavimoniereplum...
Yeah I noticed the cars also. Fun to collect, fun to work on. Eeehaaa. Miss Molly is looking stylish today. You gotta love those big tanks, until you gotta lug them down full of water. Nice job.
Awesome garage Steve! I agree with the rest of your viewers, when you have some time and would like to maybe talk about/take us on tour of your antique car collection. Looks really neat from the peek we had. Anyways keep up the good work!
Time to relax with a video EDIT:man I want to clean that garage. Oooof. Imagine it all ripped out and actual storage bins holding everything then the cars hosed down n cleaned. It's like I want to help him out 😂😭🤔😁
I can see how the compressor trick would work as long as the diaphragm is intact and the isolation valve is open to allow the water to be pushed back out into the pipework (that's how it works normally with the air pressure acting as a cushion). However if the diaphragm has failed then the air will just go straight to the top leaving the water where it is in the tank. Not to mention with that much pressure in a compromised vessel, there's a chance it could explode.
Damn Steve. You've got to retire and start using some of those toys in the shop. You can make content cleaning and teaching. Cleaning the shop will get you through many ,many years. Nice place btw. You only get so many heartbeats . Dont use them all up for working on other peoples shit.
I think the air compressor idea would work if the expansion tank was upside down, because air wants to bubble to the top. With the tank upside right, like this one, the air bubbled through the water in the tank to the top, and got into the heating loop. The water stayed in the tank.
the compressor 100% works. i do it all the time. drain the whole tank right into a 5 gallon bucket through the boiler drain. an amtrol 30 that's full holds exactly 5 gallons of water
when you pump out the expansion tank, should be draining the system down too. when the tank started spraying, i jumped!!! wasnt expecting that!! thanks, steve. great vid as always. nice set up though.
It's Official Now....Steven is changing the name of his Business to "Miss Molly Plumbing and HVAC Services" :) wouldn't that be COOL? :) You could see an Ad with Miss Molly wearing a Hard Hat and Tool Belt! do it Steven !! :)
I don't' know what genius started putting the expansion tanks upside down with a vent conveniently located right above it. If the tank was turned the other way the air couldn't leak out of it .That's the way all well pump tanks are oriented. This way if the bladder gets a slight leak it goes right out the vent.
How are you doing Steven another quality job done yeah Miss Molly's high maintenance I've got a Chihuahua long hair she's black wouldn't take nothing in the world for get some of them antique cars out on a pretty day and do a video Steve
That little pick up in the garage looks like a 1934 Ford....you have a bunch of car treasure in that garage, Hope you have a security system out there. A tour might put those cars in jeopardy so I pass.
Does anyone know what the vid is called where the customer tries saying he will be back in 30 minutes and steve tells the customer “why you leaving I’m not gonna wait all day for you guy…? I’ve been trying to find that vid forever 😂
Ever notice where the expansion tank is on every automobile engine ? The highest point, tank stays about half full and air is on top of the tank . I dont ever recall adding air to any of these tanks.
Steve has a nice stash of r22 on the shelf in garage
Wait wait what you have in your garage? Give us a tour about the cars Steve. That would be awesome.
his older videos you can see them when he's working on the snowblower...he has some bad ass rides.
He had videos of him driving them.
Agreed. Make some new vids with the cars. I’m not you only fan surprised. Thanks
nice vehicles. i also like the garage.
Let's talk about those awesome classic cars you have there.
Yes, I remember those from Steve's earliest videos.
Yeah I noticed the cars also. Fun to collect, fun to work on. Eeehaaa. Miss Molly is looking stylish today. You gotta love those big tanks, until you gotta lug them down full of water. Nice job.
The "dumb dumb" would be Mikey Pipes.
Interesting garage.....:) (Stuff on wheels)

Now I know where Christine's been hiding since making that Stephen King movie.
Absolutely love your truck in your building Steve

Yup. I use my milwaukee m12 inflator all the time if the bladder is just stretched. If its failed, i drill a couple holes and let it drain down
8 zones? That's a lot of thermostat batteries. Whoever designed that system probably expected the expansion tank to outlast the boiler.
Beutifull garage.. just like mine.. love the cars.. and I got jd318 love it.. keep them coming
R22 gold mine!!!!! Better hire some armed security mama....
Damn Steve. You've got to retire and start using some of those toys in the shop. You can make content cleaning and teaching. Cleaning the shop will get you through many ,many years. Nice place btw. You only get so many heartbeats . Dont use them all up for working on other peoples shit.
I like the duplex sump pump setup. Very neat
We all know who the dumb dumb with the compressor idea is 😆 🤣
M.P.

Probably would get better results by just pulling the schrader core out and letting it just drain.
Howdy Steve and Molly
the compressor 100% works. i do it all the time. drain the whole tank right into a 5 gallon bucket through the boiler drain. an amtrol 30 that's full holds exactly 5 gallons of water
Nice set up. Not a fan of Honeywell relays or old cast iron airscoopes but love separate pumps. Great service Steave
Would’ve worked but he didn’t leave the boiler drain open so all he did was pressurize the system.
That tank spray reminds me of when your next date see’s the bank account of the working man Momma 😂😂😂
You got some good looking vehicles in that garage. Love the white pickup and the black car. Would be cool to see a little tour of them.
when you pump out the expansion tank, should be draining the system down too. when the tank started spraying, i jumped!!! wasnt expecting that!! thanks, steve. great vid as always. nice set up though.
What caused it to fail? Not that old. Too much psi coming from the street or a failed reducer?
They just don't make them good. Although this one failed even before the normal early failure time frame of 8 years.
That r22 and 410a are nice investments, guaranteed 10% return every 6mo
It's Official Now....Steven is changing the name of his Business to "Miss Molly Plumbing and HVAC Services" :) wouldn't that be COOL? :) You could see an Ad with Miss Molly wearing a Hard Hat and Tool Belt! do it Steven !! :)
Nice job. Thanks for filming and teaching us a lesson. I was saying to myself I hope there isn't 30 gallons of water in there using 5 gallon pails.
Nice and thorough as usual. Hey Molly!
Great video as always ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
All that R22 in the garage could make the start of a nice retirement fund! ;)
Can never understand why installers with know common sense put the first thing that could possibly leak in the future directly over the boiler 🤣
Good job Steve, Yeah I would not listen to dumb dumb, he will end up getting someone hurt. You"re garage is nice, a little messy, but nice.
He just did a video doing it. 😂😂
When do you have time to work on those old cars Steve?
Most times there is no shut off and a union below the shut off, this union releases the pressure , I been doing this 36 years !!
Steve has his own supply house at home; Next Level!!!!!
Good work.
You got some nice looking rides in your garage Steve, why don’t you tell us about them sometime!
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
Nice car collection. Maybe make a video about them one day. The story behind each one.
he has videos on them from about 8 years ago...search them out
@@jonathanmessore1907 Thanks, I checked them out. He has a good stable of beauties.
that's a lot of cold juice you got there!

You need to do a video on your garage. I love to see all the stuff you got in there especially those cars.
Pretty cool classic cars
Great Video, Great Work. Thank you for sharing
Awsome job steve 😊😊😊
Compressor probably works great if you're changing out tanks that haven't failed yet. 👍
How are you doing Steven another quality job done yeah Miss Molly's high maintenance I've got a Chihuahua long hair she's black wouldn't take nothing in the world for get some of them antique cars out on a pretty day and do a video Steve
As a Australian whose never seen anything like this idk what this is all about. We generally only worry about cooling our home.
A lot of zones in that house.
That little pick up in the garage looks like a 1934 Ford....you have a bunch of car treasure in that garage, Hope you have a security system out there. A tour might put those cars in jeopardy so I pass.
You made me laugh 😂😂... But it kinda worked 😅
I haven't watched the dum dum since he was hating on you
Your a good guy Steve love your content
Keep going 👍
mad refrigerant haha I bet that shit wasn't cheap
410a will be next stock run
Well with all that water the boiler room must be cleaner than before.
It was great to see Steve’s garage!
Do you drive those classic cars? I remember you showing us them in your early videos.
Oh, I thought it was gonna be another rotted Burnham. Thx.
Houston, Ready for take off!!! A little Bladder gas blowoff from the rear end. Get ready for the crash landing. Wave to miss molly.
Were you always a solo business or did you ever have anyone work for you?
Thats about 1000000 worth of R22.
Congratulations you made bubbles. LOL
well it kind of worked lol 😂
It seemed like pressuring the ex tank with air made the water spray out much faster. That boiler had a lot of zones. Must be a big house.
thats a lot of circulators
Crack the air scoop (ask me how i know).
"GUNSLINGER" for hire...
I'd like to see you become more organized in your garage and truck. Please work on this if you could.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, so to speak.
You need to semi retire brother. You've got 10 years of car projects in that garage? Have fun.
Did you just try a Mikey Pipes Woo Woo like a hair dresser.....
speaking of 60`s, was that a 66` or 67` chevelle ss in your garage ?
Don’t have to treat the boiler water with anything ? Oxygen scavenger etc .?
Having an intro that doesn't start in your deafening van would be nice. Just saying
Good video
Does anyone know what the vid is called where the customer tries saying he will be back in 30 minutes and steve tells the customer “why you leaving I’m not gonna wait all day for you guy…? I’ve been trying to find that vid forever 😂
Hello Steve!
You used a compressor right? I don’t understand 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I thought the Handle lifted up
👍
are those valve cores removable ? might have to give ted a run with one of your caars! good job steve!
scratch the core
Ever notice where the expansion tank is on every automobile engine ? The highest point, tank stays about half full and air is on top of the tank . I dont ever recall adding air to any of these tanks.
is there a reason tonnot mount them valve core up?
That’s not the correct way to mount them. It’s states to mount them as shown in the video.
h20 side of bladder no o2? with nipple up self purging?
do you have any 30s ?
You can learn a lot from a dumb dumb and that is don't add pressure to the tank.
😂😎👍🏻🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺
You got fooled on that one. Good old and dumb guys will trick you on silly shit .
😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
First comment yippee 2nd day in a row
I think Miss Molly is playing hard to get.
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
Hi Steve!
