  Yes it is, while I was there I saw no TT wire or blower power wire going to the house and the only stoves I have ever seen that run there blower off a call for heat in the house would be Hardy!

they run the pump off of the thermostat in the home, they use a Honeywell aquastat for the stove blower

Unless u seen one rigged some other way

I have no idea how this one is wired but I seem to remember the Heatmor manual showing running wires from the over limit aquastat to the blower in the house.

[slimjim]

I would have to look again but I do not recall any aquastats controlling the circs and do not recall anything in the manual about it either

6) The red wire from the high-limit aquastat on the back of the HEATMOR™ should be wired to the
indoor temperature control to override the thermostat. This will dissipate excess heat in the event of a
possible malfunction with the HEATMOR™.(the red wire is capped off in the electrical junction
box when the heatMOr™ is new.)

High Water Temperature Safety Shutoff Control
Principles
The correct name is an “aquastat.” It is referred to as an aquastat because it
measures the temperature of water (aqua means water). It is sometimes referred to as a thermostat, but
thermo means air. It does not measure the temperature of air. The High Water Temperature Safety Shutoff
Control turns off all electrical power to the combustion air blower and the front light if an excessive water
temperature be reached. To provide added safety and notification, when a high water temperature is reached,
this aquastat will send electrical power to the “red wire”. The red wire leading from the HEATMOR™ back to
the power source can be installed so the electrical power will sound an alarm or will override the comfortable
heat settings within the heated building. By starting heating appliances in the building, heat will be drawn
off the HEATMOR™, dumped into the building, creating an elevated temperature
environment in the building, and hence a notification of an unusually high water
temperature within the HEATMOR™. By removing this excess heat from the
HEATMOR™, a “boil” will normally be avoided.

.
The high limit aquastat has probably overridden the operating aquastat. If this has happened, it
should also trigger your distribution system or high water temperature warning.

At this point the high limit aquastat has been tripped on. To detect the precise reason, please contact
your local dealer.

I believe this has been the issue from the start!

Must be the same Terri from heatmor Maine that was in a Facebook rant, also with threats to an unhappy customer with a bad install.  Older couple at that. How childish, I wouldn't let the small things bother you slim, those kind are irrelevant . Kinda sounds like predators taking advantage of uninformed consumers.

[slimjim]

There are not many like Terri out there, I'm pretty sure it's the same one, my biggest regret is that more than likely Bruce will not be allowed to speak to me any more, he really is a decent guy to chat with at the shows, Thanks for the support Sprinter!

HI all!! It's been a bit since I been on..

 I can't believe were almost in June and I am still burning.... I put wood in every two days though....

This morning I went to check it out temp was 89 with water light on ugh...
I added water it took allot not sure what that was all about but the light went off...

It took me an hour to clean I got so dirty my hair was nasty I really don't like this part of the stove.... WOW my arms get a great work out I found using the drill helps som

I just shut mine down Monday.  There can be more problems in warmer weather with overheating.  It still sounds like your aquastat has issues or you have a leak.  Either it is boiling off or leaking.  I had a small leak at a threaded fitting - no water dripping, just some white mineral buildup, but was loosing 2-5 gallons a week.  A lot more water than you think can leak from a very small leak.

It was cold last week and got warm on the weekend.  I was gone fishing and my wife loaded it up maybe a little higher than I would have.  The small flap that opens when the outer door is open had some creosote on it and wasn't shutting all the way.  She called saying why was the furnace fan going - hot in here!  No harm done, the overheat aquastat worked and easy fix, but still I don't like having very much wood in in warmer weather just in case.

[slimjim]

Great advice, if I recall correctly she does not have anything in place for overheat and should probably look into doing that before it gets cold this year, how does that unit handle overheating, could it crack the stainless if run low on water?

[slimjim]

Roxann, did you get the upgrades to your install completed yet, if not you better get moving on it as it's getting cold!

lindnova or slim, do you know what items would be needed to take advantage of the red wire to dissipate excess heat? An alarm would be fine if your home everyday, but what if it overheats when at work. I've got baseboard, so it would need to tie into a zone valve and the circulator pump that only comes on when a zone is calling for heat.

[slimjim]

Without checking the owners manual, I don't know off hand but if it is line voltage / 110 then it can directly power a circ and blower, if it is low voltage 24 volt then a relay would need to be used, Do you know which it is.

[hrc200x]

According to the manual it says the red is 115v 60hz high limit indicator.
