That's why I am here Slim! That makes sense to me, I will do that on my basement loop. Any ideas on pumps with the momo- flo tee in place? Thanks for your help!

I was planning on running all the water through one loop unless that is not a good idea.

Plumbing / Looking for pump advice

« on: August 31, 2014, 07:42:52 AM »

I am getting close to finishing my install and am ready to buy my pumps and could use some advise as to sizing them. I have a ridgewood 7500 and my loop to the house in 75' and it is Logstor. I have 25" of 1" copper in the basement going to a 20 plate exchanger for my Domestic water, then 10' of 1" copper to my water to air exchanger 15" by 20" then returning back to the logstor which is 30 more feet of 1" copper. I have eight 90 degree elbows in the loop and the plate exchanger and water to air are 1" feed brazetek units. I would like to put my pump inside as it is below the boiler.
My second loop is to my attached garage. 30' of Logstor, 4' of 1" copper to a Recycled Hydraulic oil cooler with 1 1/2 npt fittings in and out and two independent fans, then 4' back to the logstor. This pump will be on the boiler, with the garage exchanger at floor level.
Any advice would be appreciated! I am thinking Grundfos, just not sure of sizing.

RidgeWood Stoves, defunct, support only / Re: Picked up my new Ridgewood 7500 yesterday

Thanks for the replies! Anxious for this winter to end so I can start installing it. Still have 2 foot of snow on the ground up here, and had to fill the propane tank again.

RidgeWood Stoves, defunct, support only / Picked up my new Ridgewood 7500 yesterday

Went downstate yesterday to Ridgewood in Hersey to pick up my new stove. I am more than impressed with their operation and their product. It is a simple stove that is built well by some pretty nice people that were very helpful. Looking forward to getting it installed this summer, after the winter we had in the Upper Peninsula this year. I had rented a home here with a Woodmaster 4400 for a year, and enjoyed the experience as well as not paying the propane man. I choose the Ridgewood for its simplicity and quality, and its seems to be the best priced stove out there.
Just wanted to thank everyone here for the wealth of information that you have posted here, which will help me in my install.
