The lines come into house and goes into a heat sink ( aic brazed plate heat exchanger )
System appears to be hooked up in line with the existing LP gas boiler the house had and runs though hot water heater. All lines out seem hot to the touch.

Is there are way to check the water plate exchanger? I will re-bleed every radiator to make sure they do not have air in them.

HeatMaster / Can't Keep house temp up
« on: December 23, 2013, 11:33:12 AM »
I bought a house with a Heatmaster 4000 SS and have used it for one year. Last winter it kept the house temp very nice. ( a couple times to hot since we where getting use to it)
This year is has not been as good to us. We have baseboard radiators with 3 zones and the system runs through hot water heater. If the outside temp is above 30 the house heats up to 74 (temp wife like) but if temp drops below that for several days we can not get it passed 64 -69 in any of our zones.
We have check to make sure the zones are calling for heat and inside pump is running at 12 psi. Copper pipe though out house with pex to and from OWB.
We have made sure no air was in line.
I bumped up the settings to 185 with 10 degree drop but still can not get house temp up. I have check to make sure water was indeed getting heated to 185+- at the stove.
After shutting down last year I really did not do anything to the OWB. Is there some cleaning I should of done? I know this unit is discontinued but not sure what is going on.
Any thoughts?

HeatMaster / Re: Temp programming...How to?

Push set button pick C of F with up or down arrow buttons
Push set button set upper temp ( 165 - 185 ) with arrow buttons
Push set button set lower temp ( 15 deg diff ) with arrow buttons
Push set.
Done
So if you are wanting to run a 15 deg cool down for 165 deg upper temp set you lower temp to 150. Once the furnace hits 149 the blower will kick on until the temp reaches 165.
Wood at back will burn faster the front if your blower is mounted on the front door, like mine is, but all will burn. When I reload I push everything back and load new. I have a long metal hoe that I use to even ashes and push wood to back.

HeatMaster / Water Leaking From Fill Pipe
« on: November 15, 2012, 06:10:55 PM »
I purchase a home with a HM SS CS-4000 already install and it has been used for about 6 years by past owner. We have a valve inside the house that we turn on to fill the OWB with water. It ran fine when we first started it up but after a couple of weeks my wife thought the bedrooms where not getting hot enough and we wondered if we need to add more water. So I turned on the valve again and water started blowing out the pipe on the top so I turn it back off.
Since then every time we run the furnace water comes out of the small stack in low amounts but constant bases and has been doing so for the past 5 days. I have turned the main water off at the house and the water stops coming out of the stack. Once I turn it back on water starts again.
My guess is there is something wrong with the fill valve in the house and when the OWB is running it creates enough pressure to pull more water in to the tank keeping it at a overfilled level.
Anyone every have an issue like this? I hope it is just the fill valve and nothing wrong with OWB.
