Subject: autofill question
|
I am in the process of rebuilding a aurora 1gr HX vibe machine. The
supply to the autofill solenoid is off a tee after the pump. Is this
usual? Can the boiler fill like this without the pump running? Should
I replumb so that the solenoid feed is before the pump input? FWIW,
the pump is a 70watt fluid-o-tech if this makes any difference.
Another quirk the machine has is that the sirai pstat is fed from a
fitting below the waterline. All looks factory but I hadn't seen it
like this before.
cheers

Makes no difference. The switch works by sensing pressure from a fluid. It makes
no difference if that fluid is a gas or liquid. Granted, there are
compatibility issues with materials, but the difference between water and water
vapor is insignificant for this application.
