Primus heater----Cold weather's a commin - Bob & Carol Howald` - 10-21-2007 08:00

I had a bad primus boiler on my coach (leaking) I was fortunate
enough to acquire two used boilers that had been taken out to be
replaced with the aqua-hot. I was able to use the acquired boiler to
fix mine. While I had them out I cleaned the combustion chamber's on
both of them plus cleaning the ignition plugs and burner's. They were
a mess. I flushed both system line's out and replaced the antifreeze
mixture. Now they work GREAT. they're very quiet. If your's have not
been taken out and cleaned and system flush I really recommend doing
it. They're built quite well but do get a lot of crud and soot in them.
Iam sure mine had never been taken out and cleaned before. I believe if
I had done it sooner I probably would not have had a bad one. It's not
a hard job, just take's some time. If you rely on the primus system I
recommend giving them a good cleaning..Worked for me...Bob 93pt40,Il.
