Plumbing / 10 Plate Vs 30 Plate Exchanger for Drinking water
« on: December 23, 2015, 12:34:52 PM »
I had a 10 plate exchanger with around 100 feet of total 1 inch pex. I just recently installed a taco 077. From what I understood I needed to upgrade to a 30 plate because the 10 was too restrictive? I installed 30 plate now my water instead of being 121 at the faucet is 1 million degrees. Will someone please help me understand why I spent 135 dollars on a 30 plate when my 10 plate was working just fine.

Electronics / Taco 007 pump problem?
« on: December 04, 2015, 02:51:19 PM »
I have a earth 305 outdoor furnance. I have a 16x16 exchanger air to air.  A 10 plate exchanger for hot water. Around 100 feet total of 1 inch pex. maybe 5 feet of rise total. The pump I used to have was a broedger 3 speed. It supposedly put out 10gpm on second speed and 7 feet of head same as 007 taco. I installed pump and blower immediately came on temp dropped really fast. I waited a few minutres for air to bleed. Temp barely went up maybe to 3 degrees. Heater boiler over so I unplugged fan it kept on boiling over for a good 10 minutes I turned pump off. Whats wrong?

Equipment / Home made old log splitter
« on: December 21, 2014, 06:04:53 PM »
I bought an old home made log splitter built about 20 years ago. I painted it and serviced it. After splitting a whole load of red oak the chain broke it was pretty loose. Im thinking I want to change it unto a v belt pulley style instead. I found a pulley for the engine side with a smooth bore and a keyway with a set screw. THe pump side is splined Im having trouble finding a pulley they will fit that.
I would post a picture but it keeps saying picture is too large.....

Pools & Hot Tubs / OWB to heat Dream maker eclipse 110v
« on: December 06, 2012, 09:31:21 AM »
I have a Earth 305 owb  and a dream maker ecplise 110v 220 gallon hottub.From what i understand it recovers the heat off the pump motor to heat the water.Works great when over fifty outside below that it runs alot  uses around 1100watts running.MY question is how would connect this to my wood boiler considering the pump is how it heats the water.Would i need a different circ pump?Thanks i have it heating my house and water works great hopefully i can add my hottub to leave the boiler on all year.

« on: November 26, 2012, 04:15:27 PM »
Hello i just bought a Earth 305 bear cub its great so far .Has a few kinks to work out.
I have a 1208 square foot modular and use a 16x16 heat exchanger above a coil (gonna move it below a coil next year)
and a 10 plate exchanger  inline with cold water line going into water heater water temp coming out of faucet is 118 which is hot enough i have a 15 month little girl.The aquastat is set at 160 the dealer told me to set the differential at 10 degrees That was way to far apart i changed it to five then 2 degrees.The fire would go out if i set it any further .I have a tran heat pump with electric backup so i turned the breaker off for the electric coil and set my thermostat for 73 degrees seems to work fine.IS there anything im missing?Thanks im new at this only been runing three days
