Kinda OT, but which boiler supplies the hot water to the tea wand?

Steam boiler

Thanks.

Again, thanks. So using the tea wand regularly would help keep the water in the steam boiler fresh and prevent an increased concentration of crud in the water as the steam is removed?

I use softened water. Even so, minerals will accumulate in the steam boiler unless it is regularly emptied. If one was using the tea spout to make drinks on a frequent basis, that would work to reduce the mineral buildup. Since I don't use the tea spout that way, I tend to empty out a liter or two of water through the spout every week when I do my chemical backflushing.

@ laservet - You can also drain water from the steam boiler quite easily by using drain valve. It is strategically located to allow the user easily connect a drain hose for tidy disposal of boiler water.

It is the main reason,I did not buy one.

I have a crawl space, so I put a shelve to keep the pump up by the floor. I installed the pump and all water/power/softener connections there.

Thanks, all.
