Maybe setup a blast shield? ;-)

Subject: Re: Steam pressure very high

 

I have never changed the pressure stat, so it's about 2 1/2 years old.  I am
due for descaling, but not overdue.

Sounds like the P-stat is going . Keep your eye on it. When was the last
time you changed it?Could also be some hard water deposit clogging a valve.

Good morning, happy Halloween!

Rambled downstairs this morning, and was preparing to pull a shot.  My
steam pressure is normally at 1.45 bar.  I glanced down as I was about
to purge the steam wand, and pressure was at 2 bar or a little above.
I purged, and it stayed at 1.7 with the boiler light "on".

After steaming milk, the pressure had dropped down to 1.2 or so (as
normal), and recovered/shut off at 1.45.  Since then all is normal.

Is something about to let go?  Do I need to worry about imminent steam
burns, ha ha?

Thanks all,
bmc
