One other thing I¹d add is to flush the steam boiler every couple of weeks to a month. I run hot water out of the right wand until it stops coming out, let the boiler refill/reheat, drain again, reheat, drain a third time. It¹s amazing how funky that first and second pitcher of water comes out! bmc "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel....."
