Hydrolevel VXT Steam Boiler Water Feeder

The Hydrolevel Company of North Haven, CT. produces arguably the best steam boiler water feeder on the market. This video goes over some of its salient features and how to set the programing for best operation.

[@XBKLYN]

This video is a gem. Thank you for de-mystifying this device. The installer flat out refused to give me any information concerning its programming or operation but as you've shown its really quite simple to get the auto-feeder tuned up. I'm going to note the desired water level on the sight glass then drain the boiler until the LW sensor kicks in......the amount of water in gallons that drains into my bucket at that point will be where I set the water volume dip switch. Thank you again.

Good morning Gordon, just wanted to send you a big shout-out and a big thank you for telling me which auto water feeder to purchase. I was able to finally get a Hydrolevel VXT for my steam boiler. Took a couple hours to redo all plumbing and get it hooked up. But I am so very pleased with it and I just wanted to thank you again for explaining all about it and showing the videos explaining it. I would advise everybody that has a steam boiler to purchase one of these because they do work good. Thank you again Gordon keep up the good work. Steve in Wyoming

Thank you for your most informative video. I've watched of few of your this morning and I should like you to know, you're is the first channel to which I've subscribed :). I think it's wonderful you continue to respond to comments more than two years after posting the vid. I've heard various answers to this question and would consider your credible. What is a normal about of fill water to us in a cold month? I have two systems, both replaced appx. 7 years ag. They're one pipe systems. The first provides heat to an appx 1340 square foot first floor apartment and the other provides heat to an appx. 2300 square foot second and third floor unit. Both were installed by a plumber I believe to be experienced in steam heat (as difficult as that is to find) and were inspected by the City, so I'm assuming the plumbing was done correctly. All the steam vents, including the main vents are working properly. There may be one minor leak from between two sections of a radiator (sucky situation, from what I understand), but I don't think that would account for all the water loss on the upper unit system. I'm unaware of any leaks on the first floor system. Do you have any thoughts on how to track down a water leak? Thanks again for a wonderful video and your insightful responses to comments.

[@gordonschweizer5154]

You're welcome! Any leaks that are visible on a steam system should be dealt with ruthlessly. Steam is sneaky that way. For every drop you see, there are three or more you don't. So that "minor" leak really isn't. Packing nuts on valves must be snug on the stem or steam will wisp thru them unseen. Union nuts might only leak when the pressure gets above 1 psi on extra cold days.

[@paulnewhart4838]

Just came across this. I have a 120 model, even though it's a Natural Gas steam boiler. Anyway, we are experiencing steam radiators spitting water. I looked at the boiler and the water tube was over the top. I emptied it and got it down to low-water cutoff. Allowed to refill, but it seems to be calling for water when it's not needed. I can hear it kick in even during the summer. Is indicative of a bad feeder or the low-water cutoff sensor? BTW, my feeder is set to LWC and 3 minutes.

[@gordonschweizer5154]

I would say that the low water cut off is sending false signals to the feeder. Try draining the boiler below the probe and removing it and cleaning it. Have a replacement probe handy just in case. If the LWCO is still sending bad signals to the feeder - that is to say you can see water in the glass at or above the proper level & there is a lit period after the numbers on the VXT -then it may be time to replace the LWCO. Please be aware I can't see the whole picture & there may be other unknown issues!

[@juliocintron8777]

Good day your tutorial was very informative My question is that I for the summer shut down the gas and power supply to the heating system upon powering up and turning on the gas valve the VXT-24 is flashing on /off ,the low water cut off also blinks then stop for around 30 seconds and repeats with no water feeding. Manual feeding works and the glass tube shows the correct amount of water for boiler to turn on . Please if you can help advise on how to troubleshoot this problem J C

[@gordonschweizer5154]

Thanks! You may be having an issue with a malfuctioning low water cut off. Is your LWCO a PSE-802-24 by chance? Try draining the boiler, pulling the probe, and cleaning it. If that doesn't work, you may have to replace your LWCO & probe.

At the end you mentioned a flashing screen on the VXT.

Hello my friend, for the first time I am watching your videos and I find them very interesting. What I would like more if you were to make the videos in Spanish because we know a lot of people who do not understand English, my question is the following, after a week I installed a new boiler and installed it also hydrolyze it cdt 24 vl what happens is that suddenly the boil turns off and i don't understand and in the feeding system it indicates LOC

[@gordonschweizer5154]

"LOC" means the low water cut off safety control (LWCO) asked the VXT feeder continuously for water for two cycles in a row without satisfying the LWCO. Either there is little or no water actually going though the feeder into the boiler, or there IS enough water in the boiler, BUT the LWCO is not sensing it thus giving false signals to the VXT, or you have one heck of a leak somewhere in your system.

Is it possible to set the cut in when let’s say when the boiler is 3/4 filled and topped off to full.and how would that be achieved. Great video by the way.

[@gordonschweizer5154]

I think the best way would be to fire the boiler, and slowly drain the boiler to trigger the LWCO. Watch as the VXT times out the delay and watch it feed to the desired level. Then I would alter the settings if necessary, test again, and adjust as needed. I would start at 2min delay/ one gal. per feed. and go from there. On some boilers, I've had to resort to 2min (or above) delay and shut off at the "LWCO" setting which does not allow the lockout feature to engage IIRC.

[@janinecrane6321]

What does it mean when the numbers go up?

[@gordonschweizer5154]

The feeder is designed to track water usage or loss of water. If it feeds for one minute, it will display 001, for example, and may represent the loss of about one gallon of water from your steam system. The higher the numbers displayed, the more water possibly being lost from your system. You may have a leak somewhere.

[@infiniti2015]

[@Immortalsamurai85]

great video golden. I have a question. our feeder is at # 5 but started at #2.why did it go up to 5?

[@gordonschweizer5154]

The VXT feeder is designed to add a timed measured amount of water to your steam boiler, after a preset delay, upon a call from the boiler's low water cut off. It very roughly corresponds to one gallon per unit count. Very roughly! Your mileage may vary! So, the counter number displayed *may* indicate a small leak somewhere. The VXT cannot tell you where the putative leak is, only that you may have one.

[@klp7620]

How high does it go? Does the number displayed on the screen matter? Mine displayed 13 for several days and the pipes were banging away. Then it went up to 21 and it flooded the boiler before reaching the radiators, luckily I shut it off before it could. Now it’s off or disconnected and it’s displaying 125! F’d up completely, and it’s brand new..just installed boiler... I was told it shouldn’t be opened.. not that I would.. I stumbled on this yesterday when my brother in law told me it sounds like the feeder isn’t sensing and over feeding. Ok the second part kind of answered my question a bit?.

[@gordonschweizer5154]

It may be that the low water cut off is sending spurious signals to the VXT. The LWCO "thinks" it's low on water when in fact it's not. Has your new boiler been cleaned per manufacturer's instructions? Dirty water is one possible cause of a poor performing LWCO.

[@klp7620]

Gordon Schweizer thx for answering... I don’t know if they cleaned it.. I’ll ask. I think that was brought up also. Is it the same as skimming? I don’t know about the LWCO either.

[@elgordo271]

@@klp7620 There could be a number of issues here: The installers may not have done the "near boiler piping" correctly, causing the water in the boiler to be thrown up into the system, which causes the water level in the boiler to drop, causing the LWCO to ask for water from the feeder. The water in the system may still be contaminated, either thru no or not enough cleaning and skimming. That will cause "wet steam", sending water up into the system, which causes the water level in the boiler to drop, causing the LWCO to ask for water from the feeder. The returns could be clogged and not allowing the water to return to the boiler quickly, causing the water level in the boiler to drop, causing the LWCO to ask for water from the feeder. The pressure controller may be allowing excessive pressure to build up in the system (or your boiler is over-sized or over-fired or both), holding water up in the pipes and returns, which causes the water level in the boiler to drop, causing the LWCO to ask for water from the feeder. You could have some of your radiator valves partly closed, holding water in the radiators, which causes water to be held up in the system, which causes the water level in the boiler to drop... you get the idea.

Hello Gordon. First I want to compliment you on your videos. They are extremely helpful and well-presented. So I recently became responsible for an oil-fired steam heating system. It is quite old but also seems to be quite reliable. Neither the oil burner nor the boiler have been serviced in a few years (like possibly 8 😬) so I’m crossing my fingers and putting together a plan for spring. Since I have no experience with steam systems I am in the process of figuring out how these systems are put together. I’m wondering if you’ve ever seen an auto-feed system that consisted of a proximity switch pointed into the gauge glass hooked to a relay timer hooked to a Skinner solenoid on the feed water line. Is this normal or something my wife’s late husband, who was an accomplished electrical engineer, made up? Also, there is no manual valve on the feed line. I can get it to add water by sliding the proximity switch up the glass though. Is it ok to do that or should I have a manual bypass loop plumbed in?

What model boiler do you have? I'm going to assume its atmospheric gas fired? What make and model LWCO is on it? It may be possible to wire it just so with a clever use of a RIB relay ("relay in a box"). I assume you can't return the feeder and exchange it for the one with the "correct" voltage?

If, however, a VXT-24 were exposed to 120v, I'm reasonably certain it would not end well for the 24 volt unit.

@@27blanx Remember, I can't see your whole boiler situation, so I'm going by some creative guesswork. So, here goes: Yes, try 1 gallon per feed cycle. Then you might try to set the feed delay to 30 seconds, than slowly drain the boiler until the low water cut off is triggered (and a period appears after the three numbers on the VXT). See what happens to the water level. Is it still too high? Or too low? If it too low, set feed cycle to 2 gal and try again. If too high, well, that might be a totally different issue and we'll get to that if needed. An eight minute delay is a bit long it seems to me. Let me ask you this: When the boiler runs for a while, what happens to the water level? If it drops in the sightglass at the end of a long cycle, how long does the water take to return to where it started, more or less? If it taking longer than 2 min, you've got a problem somewhere in the system. It most cases, 30 seconds should be long enough.
