Plumbing / Best way to heat DHW

« on: April 25, 2011, 08:40:25 AM »

As I have said in another post I got a Hardy H2 used last year. I buried 4 lines from the stove to the house, 2 for heat and 2 for DHW. during the hook up  I found that the coil in the top of the water jacket for the DHW was bad. A dealer told me that it was a 60 foot coil of copper pipe. I am sure that the stove has been frozen at some time in the past so I think the copper is split.
My question is get some different views on replacing the copper or just adding a plate heater at the 40 gallon tank.
My H2 is 200 + feet from the house and I run the pump 24/7 during heating season.
Thanks for your ideas.
Bill

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / insulation question

« on: February 10, 2011, 08:28:27 AM »

This question is for Willie and others that built there own or anyone else that can help. How much and what kind of insulation did you use on your OWB. At what point does the R value around the stove become to much? I am thinking about re insulating my Hardy h2 for next year with rigid 4X8 insulation and was thinking about 6 inches all around and then put metal on to match my garage. I have plenty of insulation and can go with more but don't want to over do it to much.
Thanks

Electronics / What Temp.

« on: January 08, 2011, 08:59:33 AM »

This may have already been addressed but I installed the Ranco ETC-111000 Electronic Temperature Controller on my H2, at what temp do most people set theirs at and what differential setting?

Hardy / Aquastat

« on: December 25, 2010, 11:38:01 AM »

My Honeywell Aquastat on my H2 is sticking, sometimes it won't kick on to open the damper and kick on the firebox blower and other times it wont shut off. Is there a way to fix these or do I just need to replace it?
Thanks

Plumbing / What kind of pump?

« on: November 16, 2010, 07:37:18 PM »

I just installed a Hardy outdoor wood furnace and need to replace the pump. It has a Taco 009 that is bad and I need to replace it but I need one that will pump the farthest (about a 450 foot loop  through 3/4 inch pipe) Any ideas on what to get and where to get it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
