I ordered a blank plate for my skid steer off of amazon and it shipped from a a vendor a few towns away, and it took a week to get here. Had I known where it was coming from I would have driven there to pick it up! What a waste of time and money 💰

The NFR25 is B&G 3 speed pump, and I think that to get the most out of the 100 plate HX I needed more than the 25 is putting out . I think if i had the 14 in it will take me up to 185 degrees is where I need to be with my baseboard . I have seen it posted on here a million times that we need to have temperature gauges on everything, they tell the story, I takes the guesswork out and save a lot of money, so over the summer I will install temperature gauges on everything

I have a update! I put the NFR 25 in it mad a big difference I got up this morning and went down to find all 3 zones was running and the water temperature in the oil burner was almost 180 . It’s 3 degrees here and with-a - 15 wind chill ,so it’s 90 % better. After this cold snap i am going to switch my pumps from my wood burner to the house witch is aTaco 14 and put that in between the HX and the oil burner and put the Nfr 25 on the wood burner to the Hx ! What do you guys think 🤔

Ok I never saw one like that either lol! Again we are going to assume that it is some kind of vent so you have to find that same type off pitless or make sure you put a vented well cap.

No I don’t have a clue what the return temperature is I don’t have a gauge there , I think it will be better to put a bigger pump there , its the only thing left lol! The next question is what size 9 or 11 I want to put the 11 think the faster the better . And i am sorry Rodger for hi jacking yor post

I am sorry for the misunderstanding when no load it WILL reach 185 or better, in the shoulder months i have it set up where the oil burner to HE pump gets plugged in to the aquastat,so when it’s reaches temperature it shuts off . Like I said when it’s just cold everything is fine, but when it’s wicked cold it can’t keep up. So right now its 6 degrees but i am on oil and wood I have the oil burner itself on a plug that i plug it in to the aquastat

Well if there’s no vent on the cap we are going to have to assume that is some kind of vacuum breaker so I would replace it or get a vented well cap

I know for sure my gauge is working Because my Woodburner is set for 185 and 195 and when the wood burner opens the damper at 184 the return gauge it’ pretty darn close so it’s with in a Degree or to, and when t throttled bak the valves i can here it slow down. Maybe i am not giving it enough time to raise the temperature? But when I turned it off ( unplugged I have it plugged in a out let to run 24/7) it didn’t take long to bring it up the 5 degrees i let it drop, when the temperature outside is not as cold as it is now say 20 degrees everything is fine everything gets satisfied. I only have a problem when we get these cold snaps. And I know It is unheard of but that Taco 14 is way over kill my Woodburner is only 14 feet away from the house and Maybe the HX is another 10 feet away in the basement so maybe 40’ round trip, and that water is flying i can here it flowing and i go long times between cycles

And yes I have them counter flowing. I did shut that pump of for awhile and when it drop 5 degrees i turn it back on ant it came up 5 and it stays there . Last year i swap out the 40 EX to the 100 I didn’t gain anything so i had a 007 from the wood burner to the exchanger i was loosing probably 10 degrees, and when i put the 14 in ( I ordered the wrong pump I meant to get a 11) I tried it and it didn’t loose anything so I kept it so that’s why i am convinced that if I put a faster one on the other side it will go through the exchanger faster it will make the water in the oil burner hotter and then it would be warmer in the house

My return temperature back to wood burner after the exchanger is 190 192 or 3 , i am hardly loosing anything. I tried closing the ball valves to slow the flow down from the oil burner to the exchanger and that didn’t do anything . When I switch to oil the oil burner can keep up. It runs a lot but the temperature is like 180 185

I am having the same problem and I went from a 40 to a 100 Fphx and it didn’t make a difference, i am convinced that i need a faster pump going to the oil burner and the EX. I have a taco 007 running 27/7 . I have a taco 14 running from wood burner to HX i am only loosing 1 or two degrees its a very short run . And that hot water is flying it’s 195 degrees.my water in my oil burner is only 170 max with these cold temperatures and then i have another 007 that pushes it up when there is a call for heat up stairs ( 3 zones) i am convinced that the 007 running across the EX is not going fast enough for it to keep up with the cool water coming back down from the baseboards . What do you guys think ?

What kind of well cap do you have ? Does it have a vent in it?
