My WFE-24 Uni-Match water feeder is overfeeding along with the condensate return. How can the fill time be lowered to shorten this?

The fill time on a McDonnell & Miller Uni-Match WFE-24 water feeder can be lowered by adjusting the Dwell/Feed Selector Switch. The feeder has a DIP switch block with four on/off switches, each corresponding to a specific dwell/feed cycle. To reduce overfeeding, set the switches to a shorter dwell/feed cycle. Additionally, orifices can be used to change the feed rate to 1 gpm instead of the standard 2 gpm, further controlling water flow into the boiler.

The McDonnell & Miller Uni-Match WFE-24 water feeder shows a red indicator when it exceeds the dwell/feed period or encounters an issue preventing proper operation. Possible reasons include:
1. LWCO Not Satisfied – The low water cut-off (LWCO) is not detecting a sufficient water level, keeping the feeder active beyond its allowed cycle. 2. Improper Wiring – Incorrect wiring connections between the water feeder and LWCO could cause the feeder to malfunction. 3. Delay on Make (DOM) Timing Issue – The feeder's DOM setting may not be properly adjusted, leading to excessive delay in restoring water. 4. Feeder Malfunction – A fault in the feeder unit could prevent it from turning off after the required water level is reached.
If there is no leak in the return line, checking LWCO operation, wiring connections, and the feeder's dwell/feed settings is recommended.
