West-Central IL | So for all of you guys that have your heating system automatically plumbed into a water supply:
1. How do you know if you have a substantial leak somewhere? You could be losing a substantial about of water and never know it.
2. How do you keep from diluting your anti-freeze? If the system is continually adding pure water, over a number of years with even a small leak, your anti-freeze could be substantially diluted. As long as your building is heated, probably not a problem, but if you ever decided to shut the heat off, or the furnace quit or extended power outage it could be disastrous.
3. Do you test the antifreeze level in your system yearly like you would a car or tractor? If so, do you test just the freeze value, or are you testing all of the additives and corrosion protectants to prevent rust and scale in your systems pumps, boilers, valves, etc? Or do you change the antifreeze every 3-5 years like what is recommended on most anti-freeze labels (unless you are using OATs)
