Well,
I finally have my Ridgewood fired up for the first time on Tuesday. No issues so far, everything is working good. I am busy now insulating lines at the back of the boiler, and in my garage as well as the copper in the basement. Do not know how I pulled it off, but my wife is stacking the wood in my expanded wood shed. I had a large barn fall down last winter and I am burning the wood and beams that I did not recycle. It has been a long but fun summer, ended up with a 12' by 36" lean 2 wood shed off my garage, sided to match with doors on both ends. Concrete pad for my boiler with 4' extra in front, Logstor pipe buried and grass growing. I ended up going with the Grundfos pumps that Slim suggested 26-99 I believe. One is in my basement and heats my domestic as well as my water to air. I also added a loop with two 1" tee's off of my main line close together with a smaller pump feeding a water to air exchanger in my breezeway, with a line voltage thermostat controlling the pump. My garage has a 26-99 feeding it with a recycled large Hydraulic cooler with two fans on it. I have a line voltage thermostat controlling an outlet. This way I can plug one fan motor in or both if needed. This pump is inside the garage as well, as it is below my boiler water level. I have shut off valves on all exchangers, and boiler valves in place to flush each one out when needed. Just wanted to say Thank You for all the help and advice I received here from your answers or just reading previous posts. Special thanks to Slim!!
