    Water Temp / Boiler Plugging

    Was reading the instruction manual for the Pensotti DK boiler. There is a note that states:
    Allowing the water temperature in the boiler to drop below 160 degrees F for an extended period of time can cause corrosion and boiler plugging.
    Are we shortening the life of three pass boilers by using ODR with a low limit less than 160? Will coldstarting boilers plug them up? After all, tests have shown...

    something....

    doesn't add up. That may be a misprint.  160F  is pretty high by Euro heating standards.
