Sounds like your home needs more insulation. I'm heating a bit more then you are with no problem keeping up. So far this winter I have used about 7 cords since mid October.

I wish now I would have taken a better look at the inside of the water tank when it was new. Leaving welding slag behind in an area such as this is pure crappy workmanship. They need to bear responsibility as crapty workmanship seems to be the problem in these failures in such a short time.

What I meant to ask was did you use the rust blocker that is advertised on there website. No testing needed for 5 years or something else?

I did remove the blower motor, removed the blower cage and you'll see the air passages in the motor. I sealed every thing off, put it together and the fire did end up going out. Ended up drilling a couple 1/4in holes in the housing to let some air in.

Interesting, on page 6 of this form another fella posted a bottom rust failure very similar as this one, and what I figure the units were both mfg. in 2009.

Shaver Furnace / Re: 49 deg in the house yesterday morn its time (? about pump)

My neighbors pump locked up due to sediment from his well. Rust blocker will do nothing to the sediment from the well except put a coating on it. When I fill the hot tub I put a filter on the end of the hose to catch the small crap that comes up after a long continued pump run, if no filter is used it's not hard to see small stuff laying on the tub bottom.

Was this unit sitting on a concrete pad? The bottom metal looks awful rusty. The square tubing is even rusted.
How much of the crap you got out of the bottom is welding slag from weld rite mfg.?

Just a reminder, any fittings you use that comes in contact with the hot tub water with chlorine must be stainless. Do not use plastic fittings in the tube exchanger, the water temperature from your wood burner 170+ is to much for plastic.

When I purchased my unit 3-30-10, I had to buy the rust blocker from Shaver. The cost was $250 and was told it was good for 5 years and no test were needed . By the way it was in a 5gal jug.
Wood Nutt, i did read that in the manual..Ben Shaver told my neighbor and me for the warranty we had to use there rust blocker.
