Hardy / GFI tripped from pump
« on: December 25, 2017, 09:16:08 PM »
A couple times recently my GFI on the back of my H2 has been tripped. I figured the outlet needed replaced because it was original to the stove (2006). I replaced it a couple days ago. Tonight I came home and the GFI was tripped again. When I reset it, it just tripped again. I determined it is the pump tripping it. Does anyone know a possible reason why it could be causing a trip. I don't know if there is any correlation between when the water temp drops and the house furnace comes on as backup. Any help would be appreciated.

Hardy / Door Gasket
« on: October 08, 2014, 07:25:24 AM »
Has anyone replaced their door gasket? I have a H2 that the gasket is not sealing well along to bottom. I have tried cleaning it to no avail. I have a stove shop close by and did not know what size to get. I didn't think it would matter if I used a "Hardy" brand vs. non. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hardy / Purging Air From Line
« on: September 18, 2012, 05:17:30 PM »
Does anyone else have problems purging the air from their lines? It seems that at the beginning of each heating year, I have trouble getting all the air out of the line coming from the exchanger. If I shut the pump on and off, you can hear bubbles comin from the pump.
I don't know if the pump needs rebuilt or what. Hardy says it should be strong enough to purge the air on its own. After it is out, it is typically good for the remainder of the year.
I am 20' from the house and probably another 20' or so inside the house. Not a real long run compared to some.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Anyone Have Tall Chimney Pics?
« on: October 24, 2011, 12:35:49 PM »
I have a Hardy H2 that I would like to extend the chimney on. It comes out of the top instead of the rear like some other units. It also uses single wall pipe instead of double. Anyone have any pics of chimneys that have been raised? Any ideas how to make extend it without harming the wife's eyes?
Thanks!

Hardy / Air in lines
« on: February 12, 2011, 02:17:50 PM »
About two weeks ago, my low water light came on. I added water and less than five gallons of water topped it off. No problems until two days ago. I was not getting heat out of the vents. I checked and the top of the coil was hot, but nothing else. By cycling the pump off and on with some wait time in between, I was able to get heat again. Now today, no heat again. Same problem, same fix.
Any ideas why air could be in the lines? Back in October (I think it was) the unit was replaced under warranty. Same pump and controls though. Up unitil a couple days ago, no problem whatsoever.
Any thoughts beside mine would be of help. Thanks!

Hardy / Cool water temp. = auto switch to propane-anyone use it?
« on: December 08, 2010, 06:34:10 PM »
The Hardy OWBs have the capability to automatically switch from wood to propane if the water temperature becomes too low. Does anyone use that feature? Mine worked fine until I sent the unit back for repair (see my other posting on replaced unit). I am wondering if the sensor is bad or if it is something else? It is a simple setup, a sensor that touches the back of the unit and does its thing when it gets cold. Anyone have any thoughts?
I guess all these units have the capability to automatically switch, but not everyone uses it.

Hardy / Replaced unit
« on: October 25, 2010, 03:38:06 PM »
This fall I had to get my H2 replaced...for the most part. It was installed 2/06 and beginning the following year, I had a water loss problem. It ended up leaking about 5 gallons a week. I am not sure why. Only once in that time did I boil the water, and I caught that right after it started to boil. The water that I continually added was city water. Apparently it had some salt in it and caused me to have some nasty corrosion. According to my dealer, municipalies are allowed to have a certain amount of salt in the water.
Long story short, Hardy replaced the boiler portion under warranty and reinstalled all the old components back onto the esentially new unit. I wish it were all new, but I guess it is better than nothing. The thing I didn't like was that they charged labor to reinstall everything and to ship the unit. They also replaced the insulation ($100) and aquastate ($50) which I was not expecting. They could have at least sent the old insulation back. I could have used it for something around here.
Hopefully this "new" stove will last for many years to come. I am now filling with only rain water. I have not had any water loss in the month I have had it back.

Hardy / Hot water temp regulation-possible?
« on: September 10, 2008, 04:45:05 PM »
Does anyone know if there is a way to regulate the temperature of the water going into the water heater? I have an 80 gal. electric water heater (which is off) that the Hardy heated water dumps into. If we use enough hot water in an evening, the temperature of the water coming out of the tap rises. I understand and know why this happens, but would like to regulate it.
My wife and I like hot water, but with kids, we do not want any burns. Thanks for any input.

Hardy / water loss
« on: April 14, 2008, 10:35:55 AM »
Hank or anyone else, do you lose water from your Hardy? I have an H2 that I need to add about 5 gal. of water a week to keep the water level adequate. I cannot use the auto fill water because my house water would cause problems. The water seems to vent off around the chimney. Any solution would be helpful. This is the second year using the H2.
