My vxt is blinking 842 . Can you tell me what that means?

@@dannyB72783 It means that the vxt has fed over 999 times, and has fed a further 842 times to make up for a *possible* steam system water loss of 1841 gallons since the vxt was last reset. It is likely you have a major leak, or the vxt is not actually feeding that amount of water, or both.

Can't remove site glass ... it won't slide up to remove it ... any suggestions?

Try removing the top packing nut on the top sight glass fitting and then remove the stem. You should now be able to toggle out the glass.

Dave here from Odessa. You guys have worked on my system. My water feeder isn’t counting gallons but my boiler is flooding, could it be the valve isn’t shutting completely? I drain down 15 gallons then 24 hours later need to drain again.

I would first suspect the manual by-pass valve is passing water. They can look shut from the outside, but sneak water into your boiler while you sleep. If your VXT has been feeding lots of water into your system prior to your current kerfuffle, it may also be worthy of attention.

I’ve been using the manual bypass valve all winter to add water to keep the level in lower 2/3 of the site glass. That valve isn’t giving me any trouble. I turned the valve off for the water feeder and the flooding stopped.

If it is as you say, then the VXT valve will need rebuilding.
