Do I need an expansion tank?

Posted by on July 19, 2007, 11:35 pm

Dear Readers,

I've a new oil-fired boiler with an indirect water heater. The boiler
loop has an expansion tank. The domestic hot water does not. I have
well water (bladder tank located 50+ft away from the boiler).
Do I need an expansion tank on my domestic hot water?

All comments appreciated.
Thank you.

No.
You need a new oil-fired boiler with an indirect water heater.
You're welcome.
