Green Sided Wood Doctor
« on: January 27, 2009, 07:23:18 PM »

I had seen "Myleakywooddoctor" Posted pics on another site of his OWB and your siding was painted green. I have never heard of a green sided Wood Doctor! Are You sure you have a Wood Doctor? :bag:

I don't know why I have the furnace I have now? ???
It's green and it has Global Hydronics logos?

Wood Doctor delivered it to me as a replacement for my original furnace of which I can not remember the color now, but it definitely had Wood Doctor logos all over it.

I can only guess that at the time I bought my original Wood Doctor, Wood Doctor was actually selling Global Hydronics units repackaged as the Wood Doctor product.  I really don't know if they are still doing this.

I just assumed at the time that they were just to busy to repackage my replacement unit and just delivered it as is!

It makes no difference to me, because I bought a Wood Doctor product and I have a Wood Doctor warranty!

Both furnaces have developed either cracks in the welds or perforations through the Stainless Steel plate or both.  The first within two heating seasons and the second within three! 

So I am still within the first 5 years of my warranty and entitled to 100% coverage!

I believe I have put up my Wood Doctor warranty in another post and hope you will fine it.

The picture that you have posted looks like the Hawken Energy that we have,only ours is a GH1000.Even the label is the same. Ours was built in April of 2006 and in the picture that you posted it looks like yours was made in 2005,but the words were hard to read so maybe I am reading it wrong.Any way I am worried about the water leak problem,because the Hawken Energy was made by Global Hydronics. I have some questions for you.Did you follow the water treatment as per GH and did you ground the boiler as per GH?Ihave done both as requisted to keep our warranty up to date.
The water treatment came From Certified Labs and a sample has to be sent each year to keep the warranty in effect.There is no charge for the testing just for the jug of water treatment.After they receive the sample and have checked it they send a report to Hawken Energy and to us telling us that it is ok or if more treatment and how much we need to add.
PS I just looked again and it looks like the Mfg.Date on your stove is Mar.2005

I have had no communications to this effect and I am required by Wood Doctor to use their boiler treatment as per my warranty!  :bag:

My furnace water is checked monthly by myself using the directions provided by Wood Doctor.  I also have my furnace well grounded and an anode installed in it for further protection.  Although, I installed the anode with the intension of protecting my black iron piping as I have been informed that black iron acts as an anode for stainless steel and should have already been protecting it from corrosion, what little if any might be occuring!!!  :thumbup:
