So I guess those were kinda like hot water heaters! And…. There you have it. Boilers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't think of any water quality issues that could eat through solid brass in a year! The Chinese brass valves are paper thin. You won't find any good ones at Lowes or Home Depot.

Running it through a superheater will raise the pressure and temperature, making it dry steam - or heated hot water. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
