The WH TET air pressure needs to be set @ house pressure.

Turn off WH momentarily so you will get an accurate WP reading (stabilized). If heating, it may cause a thermal expansion event and the air pressure setting won't be correct.

As frodo asked, do you have a PRV to stabilize incoming WP?

The boiler TET is way out of my league...

I do not believe I do. Someone from the water District came over and said the water pressure was normal. Apparently he tested it when I was at work, fiance was home. He then said it was the expansion tank. It was full of water... very cloudy water.

You need to check the incoming water pressure, and not go buy "what he said"
trust, but verify.
for 10 15 bucks at home depot you can buy a http://www.supplyhouse.com/Boshart-PG25-WTG300MP-Water-Test-Gauge-3-4-Hose-Thread-0-300-PSI

simply screw it on your hose bib outside.

after you find out if you need a pressure reducing valve or not
then we can address the next issue

the expansion tank. if it is full of water, replace it. the old one will make a nice fire box for a smoker...

where does the make up water tie into your heat system ?
