Up and running
« on: December 31, 2014, 02:33:55 PM »
THANKS! To all the great info on this site! I have my system (self install) up and running, DHW and furnace coils each has by-pass options for repair and cleaning thanks to reading that info on here. Also have strainers installed for derbies. Only thing I wish I would have done is install a loop to by-pass all indoor plumbing incase I need to make a repair and not shutdown the boiler, never picked that out on anyone's drawings.
Thanks again all!
Happy New Years!!!!  :thumbup:

Running 175deg set point with 8deg differential, draft door opens at 167 and took 18 minutes to recover at 25 degrees outside. How am I doing? First time owner/operator.

Get yourself a chimney like automan77 and bump your temps into the high 170's and low 180's. You will be happy

Yes! House is warm and all the hot water I want, no propane! Shut the breaker off on the water heater also. Love this setup!

Set mine at the high point 185 and the draft door opening at 175 it's running nice?
