Aqua-Therm / Re: Old Aqua Therm 140
« on: January 30, 2014, 03:20:11 PM »
I have a propane forced air furnace now, and would like to hook my DHW up with whatever OWB I end up with; so heat exchangers will be needed. Would I need extra holding tanks with the Aqua-Therm or just the expansion tank for pressure? WillieG, what kind of filter do you have hooked up to your owb? I can't seem to find anything for hot water.

Next time I go over there to take a look on how to get it out of his shed, I'll snap a couple pics. I truely have no idea about rust in the water jacket, but as long as it's just been sitting, I can only imagine. Then I really don't have the money to pour into something that morethan likely won't work. MattyNH; are Aqua-Therms morr set up for radient heat then? I'm a rookie to all things OWB.

Oh yeah. Like I said. Im most likely just to haul this thing to the scrap yard, I was just curious to know something about it first.

I'm not going to invest too much more than a lil bit of time on it. It's just sitting in the guys shed and he said I could take it for scrap metal if nothing else. So I'm really not losing anything on it. I also know that they don't hold much water but I work at a hardware store, so used water heaters are abundant. With all that considered I figured its worth a look. At the very worst it ends up at the scrap yard and pays for the fuel to get it.

Aqua-Therm / Old Aqua Therm 140
« on: January 28, 2014, 05:46:22 PM »
Someone I know has an old Aqua-Therm 140 stove that he wants to get rid of. The stove is super rusty and will most likely end up at a salvage yard, but he's willing to give it away, and I'm willing to make the 10 min drive to pick it up. Now saying that, can someone give me some info on these stoves and or how to get some of the rust out of the water jacket? I know some about owb's but really nothing about Aqua-Therms.

Definitely. Just wondering. This will be a budgeted project so I have to consider shipping vs picking up.

Might be about right. I've driven through KY before but never just to KY. Just or a quick estimate, roughly how much would shipping be to up here.

I'm in west south/ central Illinois, just a bit north of St. Louis MO. I know there are a lot of variables with this question, but I'm just thinking in general terms yet at this point.

On the website they claim 15-18 hr burn times. I'm considering buying a 6000 model and was wondering what the users are getting.

mlappin, I have this crazy idea of building an owb with a removable firebox. So that if either the firebox or water jacket needed repaired, or replaced you would just have to pull out the firebox and go to welding now if I just had the shop and tools to do so.

Well Im still a ways off from being able to buy one. I'm really just trying to get everything lined up so that when I'm ready, it's go time. But I will consider anything that will save me money. I can do some basic welding and know some professional welders/ metal workers so used doesn't totally scare me, as long as it's in decent shape.

What's everyone's opinion on the Timberwolves? How long do they last, and how many ports are on the smaller models?
