Well I know if I need to move it now is the time to do it. Just want to be sure of some things. My son is a concrete pourer and finisher and will be pouring my pad. The back of the boiler will only be turning 45 degrees from where its at now so the pipes in the current pipes in the ground are good and the connections will be easy made. No splices will be needed. I don't have a pad now just two footers so I'm gonna have a 12x12 pad poured over the top of the current footers. Basically the boiler will just turn in a different direction. My plans are to drain all water out of boiler, disconnect all pipes and electrical wires, move the boiler completely out of the way, form up the pad, put a section of drain pipe around all the pipes coming out of ground as water tight as I can make it, dig all dirt down to 6 inches below top of form and remove dirt. Put 3 inches of dense grade gravel in the pad form and pack well. Put a cattle panel section cut to length instead of rebar. Pour the slab and replace boiler to proper place. Hooking everything back up as normal.
Any suggestions on any of this would be appreciated and considered.

I guess it could be mounted in a plastic box with a glass window on it where you could see it. I'd like to be able to see the temperature at night without a flashlight.

Thanks Yoder
How is yours mounted? Is it in a junction box? It's it out in open as far as rain and weather. Just curious how they react to outdoor weather.

Just curious to see if any of you guys tried using one of these. I have used them on poultry incubators and they do a fine job of precise temp control. Pretty durable for me. Never had one fail.

Will the thermostat in this topic, the pro1 755 let the boiler be the primary heat source and the heat pump only kick on as backup? I am need to replace my defective heat pump thermostat and feel it would be a good time to go with one thermostat rather than the two thermostat system. I actually found a deal on the 721 for 30.00 brand new still in original package. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes I used the Armstrong. I may need to find me a smaller pump. I'm wandering if switch my supply and return would help?

Well it turns out the temps stayed more consistent however I felt like I used more wood and my electric bill was around 30-40.00 more running the pump. I'm wandering if I can switch supply and return lines on my main pump and fix the problem and do away with the extra pump.

Only other options are
1. putting another section of pipe on the stack to get it above my roof edge.
Option#2 Is to pour a new pad and completely turn boiler around so its facing away from house and that would get the smoke stack further away from the house.

This is what I have and will be installing it. I'm hoping there is a kit for splicing.
