Jul 08, 2021 · An economizer uses the wasted hot flue gas to heat feed water on its way to the boiler. If your steam boiler doesn't have an economizer or your economizer isn't working, this should be the first priority. Economizers save fuel and prevent damaging effects of feeding the boiler with cold water.

Well yes, and no. The valve can automatically feed water into a hot water heating boiler whose pressure falls below the set-pressure (12 psi at factory setting) if the water shutoff valve for the boiler has been left "on". The B&G pressure reducing valve shown at left includes a bypass lever shown in the "up" or "open" position in the illustration.

But that's just me. I took my auto water feeder off, when it failed. I tend to check my boiler every time I'm in the basement and my first indication of a problem was when I thought the gauge glass was empty. It actually was completely full. I drained about 10 gallons of water out of the boiler, thinking maybe it was some kind of fluke.
