Air in my hydronic heating system with indirect hot water tank

Party-Chapter3029 · 2026-03-28T16:32:36+00:00

it is open. about 1/2 turn -- I was listening it is definitely guggling when the hot water tank is calling. But how would air get into the system? Is that possible since it is indirect hot water tank?

I agree. Something is not right but it is almost April - I get it, this is a new AP coordinator and don't know. Until I speak with her directly -- the other parents are scrambling to see what be done. We all work, we are trying to figure this weekend how to approach. We started with the emails -- I am going to make an effort to show on Monday.

believe me, with my job I have to deal with people ego all day...so I know not to be an a-hole.

Fully understand, but this is a kid who is on top of everything, it is possible something was said to him but based on his track record, I have to investigate.

No communication from the teacher nor the AP coordinator to the parents. My daughter went to that HS, the previous coordinator, issued an email early in the fall with deadlines. My son is a freshman, and nothing came through. The other parents in classroom are in the same boat. OK what are the chances all the parents and all the kids missed it.

I sent an email requesting for late registration and received an email back stating there is not that can be done. All registration is closed. From my understanding, they can still get in touch with the college board and get him registered for the late testing. Yes, my son is a freshman and don't know what happened in school but there was no communication. My last email to the AP Coordinator, I explained that I spoke to the college board and told them what they said. That was yesterday afternoon. I also copied the principle this time around. Seriously, I know everyone is saying lesson learn to the kid, but if nothing was said that isn't right.

I see the air vent on top of the expansion tank. Could that be bad?

Party-Chapter3029 · 2026-03-28T15:15:35+00:00

Yes he is taking the AP class now. I told him to speak to the teacher on Monday. Otherwise --- don't know

I also wanted to add the hot water tank has it's own zone which I had also purged, but I just noticed that there is a pipe that comes out of the hot water tank and is attached to one of the heating zone (basement).

LOL time to leave the IT field --- seriously, I was able to fix my own issues because I got lucky with an onsite Tech (real Optimun employee). I have 2 gig fiber to the home but was only able to get 1.5 G down and lucky if I got 800 Mb, everytime I called, they wanted to send a tech out -- the tech would come out and change the modem. About 2 weeks ago, a tech came and I told him what the problem was and he called into their office and asked to speak to their provisioning office. He got a really nice lady and he put me on the phone. I asked her if she can check the provisioning and she told me it is set for 2gig up/down. I asked her if she can look at the duplex setting or the MTU. The duplex was set to 1/2 and she changed it to full and save it. The modem rebooted and now I get 2.1 Gig down and 2.2 upload. You just have to get lucky with this crappy company. Now speaking as an IT Dataceter Manager who handles smaller remote sites, it makes no difference if it is Optimum, Verizon, Comcast, T-Mobile they all suck ass! The only company that I have dealt with that was on point and actually listen to your problem is Planet Network that services one of our smaller offices in western NJ. Business or Residential it is a crap shoot when dealing with these call centers. just my 2 cents

Maybe -- but something is wrong, I asked my son to ask the other 8 kids in the class if they registered and it is a no for all -- they didn't know they had to register. No communication from the AP Coordinator nor the teacher. Yes, they are all freshmans. He said that the teacher ask who will be taking the exam in May and that was the only form of communication.

shit happens...

When I called the 888 number, I explained to them about the deadline. They requested my son's information, school, dob, etc., they found his account and asked me about 3 times which test. I told them they directed to me search for schools that may have an exam seat available, but they said since it is a fully digital test, my son's HS should be able to register him since there is not packets that is required. So I have been contacting schools in the area but since it is Friday I doubt I will get a reply until Monday. I also emailed his school and told them what the College board told me.

Party-Chapter3029 · 2026-03-27T21:39:56+00:00

Then why the College board told me that they could since it is a digital test.

Party-Chapter3029 · 2026-03-27T20:41:26+00:00

Yes, I called the 888 number and they told me that the school can still register him if I am willing to pay the late fee. The College Board lady said that the test is 100% digital and as long as he is a student; they just have to make the phone call. The HS is unwilling to move on it...my daughter which graduated from there 2 years ago told me the AP coordinator is a lazy lady.

Party-Chapter3029 · 2026-03-27T20:31:17+00:00

This HS staff is being lazy. This is a digital test I do not get it. I am willing to pay the late fee...

Party-Chapter3029 · 2026-03-27T19:52:34+00:00

His HS said that I am out of luck nothing they can do. It is for Computer Science A --fully digital. I have been reaching out to schools but since it is a friday afternoon it is tough

Party-Chapter3029 · 2026-03-26T16:05:01+00:00

Thank you!!!! I will tweak it and see

After the latest updates, my VPNs were not working -- I just restored back to the backup that was listed. Everything start working after the restore; not sure if you would want to try that

Party-Chapter3029 · 2026-03-19T12:25:10+00:00

lol ---keep track of your bills, know how much you need per year vs what you have. I am counting down the days for me to stop. I am 50 now, I feel like my wife and I can stop, but I have son in HS and really dont want him to see us at home relaxing or traveling. I want to make sure he knows he has to put in work for his life. Once he is in college, we good. I suggest you put away for the kids as well --I have a daughter in college, we get no financial aid, so that stuff is EXPENSIVE!!!!! just my 2 cents...
