How do I increase the temp of water? My water is only luke warm. It has been much hotter in the past.

To increase the water temperature in a PEERLESS WBV SERIES boiler, follow these steps:

1. Adjust the thermostat or aquastat – Ensure the boiler’s temperature control is set to the desired range, typically between 180-200°F.
2. Check the burner operation – Ensure the burner is functioning correctly and providing adequate heat.
3. Verify water flow – Open the make-up water valve to allow a steady flow of water while maintaining the correct temperature range.
4. Inspect for system blockages – Clean the boiler to remove any oil, grease, or sludge that could affect heat transfer.
5. Ensure proper venting – Make sure the flue is clear and correctly configured for optimal performance.

Be cautious not to increase the temperature beyond safe limits to avoid overheating or damaging the boiler.

How to fill radiators with water

To fill PEERLESS SERIES radiators with water:

1. Ensure the boiler water level is correct by checking the sight glass.
2. Open the system's water supply valve to allow water into the boiler.
3. As the boiler fills, air will be pushed out through air vents on the radiators.
4. Monitor pressure and water level. Do not overfill.
5. Once water reaches the proper level and air is purged, close the fill valve.

Note: Do not fill radiators directly; they fill automatically from the boiler.

Smaller flueways, as well as bars, pins and fins are designed into modern boilers to transfer as much heat as possible from the hot gases to the water or steam and prevent heat loss up the chimney.
