Short-cycling is frequently caused by a fouled low-water cutoff mechanism, incorrect pressuretrol differential settings, surging water levels resulting from dirty boiler water, or a clogged pigtail siphon tube.
Water hammer occurs when steam meets trapped, cooler condensate pooling inside mispitched horizontal run pipes or malfunctioning radiator air vents, creating violent hydraulic shockwaves.
Not necessarily. Leaks often stem from simpler components such as weeping pressure relief valves, leaking boiler drain faucets, loose sight glass gaskets, or failing circulator pump flange seals before indicating a cast-iron block failure.
