Thanks for the info. We lost power for 6 hours last night and waiting for the temp to come up in here before I tear it apart. And of course it's not leaking at the moment

Do I need to worry about damaging the o ring when I open it up?

So it's been a couple of weeks since I've been up and running and my delta really hasn't changed. I dropped my supply to 100 and the the return temp at startup is around 60 and never gets much above 80. I do have to say that there isn't a call for heat too often either. Maybe twice a day at the most so far. I'm assuming this is why the return temp is so low at start up. Do any of you see any issues in my future?

Funny thing is, after the call for heat was done, I turned the water back on and it wasn't leaking. I think I'm going to pull the top off tomorrow and check it out. It also spit some water out the day I filled the system. I like to see how things work anyway. Lol

I have one installed on my shop setup. Worked great until yesterday. For some reason water is shooting out where the air is supposed to come out. I was somehow able to get it to stop leaking yesterday, but no such luck today. Anyone else ever have issues with them and how did you fix it. Thanks

Did you contact security? They should be able to find a place near you that sells them.

Do I have anything to worry about the way I'm setup? It's an easy fix to flip my pumps on the boiler side, but not so much on the other side of the hx. No worries slim. It's not like I'm the only guy you're helping out around here. Lol

I have the top as the supply. Not sure if there is a golden rule on this, but it is what slim recommended I do

« on: November 23, 2014, 06:48:21 AM »If you are looking for an excellent maul, don't pass up at least looking at the link below. I ordered one about 2 months ago. WELL worth the money / very satisfied with the Fiskars X27.I'll second that. It does a very good job. There is some wood that it will not split so I use my uncle's splitter

It chewed through a fair bit of wood yesterday. I have it set at 195 with a 10 degree dif and sometimes it would dip down to 175. It would only idle for maybe 10 minutes at a time. The return got to 80 last night and I shut it down because the temp inside was at 55 and I'm away from the house for the day so not there to feed it. Outside temps are at 65 today but back down to the 30's tonight. I'll get it going again tomorrow and see how it goes from there

That's what I'm fearing. Is there anything I can do to improve my delta T?

Got things hooked up and running this morning. The temp inside and out was 40. I have a 26 99 on the boiler side and a 15 58 on the slab side of the hx. Speeds are set on high on both. The supply temp is set at 120 and the return is coming back at 80 right now. Flow is 3 gpm on each loop. Does all this sound about right?
