Did You Know:  The life of the convectors in the Tower Building is being cut short by residents turning the convectors Off or setting them above 80 degrees. This action causes the convectors to sweat and rust out. The convector life can be extended by keeping them on; and, if you do not want too much cooling, just adjust them to a few degrees higher than you keep it on a normal basis.  As new convector units are installed in the future, it is recommended that an automatic three-way valve be added so when the unit is turned Off, it stops the water flow to the convector, which will stop leaking from occurring when the units are in the Off position.  At the present time, the convectors still leak even if they are turned Off.  Thanks to Chris for this advice.
