Re: My build in Norcal
No. I pulled about 3 gallons at different settings on my controller to see how it would run and knock down.
It never showed any signs of any malfunctioning till I went to rinse the boiler. That's when I seen the burnt part .

Re: My build in Norcal
Ran my 6 gallon vinegar run. Ran no problem. Condenser knocked down at full throttle. Went to clean it out. Then found the carnage on my element. It broke I'm my hand as soon as I touched it.
