[C320-list] C320-list Digest, Vol 2182, Issue 1

Ahoy....I had the same issue with #245. I have looked for a leak, and 
have not found one yet. To reduce the cycling of the pump coming on, I 
installed an accumulator behind the box under the stove. A good 
reduction in the amount of time the pump runs......Joe N Beth
