Shaver Furnace / Dual electic water tanks hook up ????

« on: January 13, 2012, 02:47:51 PM »

I need a little help (well maybe a lot) I have two 40 gal electic water tanks. the 1st tank has no elements it was from my solar hot water
system and the 2nd has everything.  I want to connect my OWF to the tanks, should I connect the OWF to the tank with the elements ??
or should I go into the first tank and use it as a pre-heater. I would like to store up the full 80 gal that should I do ?

BY THE WAY IF YOU DONT HAVE AN AUTO DAMP YOU GOT TO GET IT.  1st time ever I had wood left in the morning and it was 20 degrees

Dose anyone know why I have to use a heat exchanger I know the house is pressurized but if I turn the water off to the boiler in the house the system is then non pressurized all I would have to do is add a check valve on the return line to stop the water from draining out right this would eleminat alot of heat loss  I'd like everyone input  thanks
