The Midwest boiler DOES NOT (not shouting, just emphasizing!) require silver
soldering. My boiler was built per Midwest's instructions (ie. soft soldered)
and has countless hours on it. There was a day that I let it run dry and it did
spring a leak. (rather uneventful) It was easily remedied and has performed
flawlessly since. No permanent damage was caused by my failure to fill the
boiler before lighting the fuel!
