    Nice video Old Dog. Some videos show a Navien Easy valve kit which adds separate valves for the service port/hose outlets. My unit only has 1 isolation valve each for hot and cold water - is that what you have? I'm assuming if there's only one isolation valve each for hot and cold that you just: shut off your Main water valve; open your cold isolation valve, attach hose to sump pump & then to cold water service port; attach hose to hot service port; open hot isolation valve, which prevents water from flowing back into main hot water line going into the house?; then plug in pump and flush for 40 minutes or so? Thanks for your help. Not really sure why they make Easy valve kit when the 'stock' hot/cold isolation valves allow you to flush system?

    Our gas fireplace started burning orange after I turned on a cool mist humidifier to help keep our Christmas tree fresh. Since the orange color is caused by minerals dispersed into the air by the cool mist humidifier, I plan to fix it by using distilled water instead of tap water.

    Thanks for the info. I live a mile off the lake so my humidity levels get pretty high naturally. I usually run the de-humidifier in the winter to control the condensation on the windows. But my sinuses started acting up at night so I thought I would give the de-humidifier a break. That is about when both my stove and heater started burning orange, not as orange as yours though. Then the next day they were both back to burning blue. I will watch the humidity levels now.

    Thanks for the video. We have humidifier and today got up and ran the stovetop and got 1/2 blue and 1/2 orange (all burners). I went on-line and did see one guy mention "humidifier" but he didn't get too specific, especially with regards to "why". I was leaning towards the regulator when I saw your video. It has been about an hour since I cooked my omelet this morning. By now the AC had been running in the kitchen area for several minutes. I turned on one burner and it's just fine, same with the rest. If it quacks like a duck...

    I definitely like the 4 inch overflow. I have my overflow on my last barrel in a chain of 4 barrels and when they are full, hard rain backs up into my gutter and pours everywhere. I plan to add another 2” overflow to my intake barrel since I have leftover material from my 2” manifold system. Hopefully that will help. Plan to put some kind of manual diverter on the feed also. Im not running a first flush so pollen season is nasty water.

    If your bulkhead fitting where up another two inches, tightening them down enough to flatten the barrel a little would make for a better gasket seal.
