Pools & Hot Tubs / Re: In ground pool heated with Central Boiler 5036... Hot water doesn't keep flowing
« on: March 19, 2013, 08:27:24 PM »
Actually it was like $598 for the add ons for the pool to be heated. Not to mention the 10k for the owb!
But who is counting all the $$$$? I just want a warm pool.... Seems like soo many different answers :/ which is best?? And the pool is chlorine not salt water.
Whatever is the least complicated to get this going in the right direction is best. Hubs works 75+ hrs a week and I need to get it done or hire it done. Thanks!
Ps if someone can spell it out cut and dry what I need done to tell a CONTRACTOR not a thermo contractor but a JOE CONTRACTOR what to do would be amazing!!!! Put it in simple terms so the contractor don't screw it up (again)
Thank you so much!!!

True regarding contractors..... We have what we have, and need to make it work to our advantage. Cost well over $500 and no heated pool. We are thinking to control the water flow through the pool heat plate exchanger With the T valve we have. Possibly lower the owb temp to 120 vs our normal winter 175. Your set up looks ideal! Wished we would have seen that 7 years ago when we installed it :/ the dealer who sold us everything is no longer a dealer. He took on other ventures........

The pool heat exchanger is located under the wood burner....... The pool heat exchanger is connected to the wood burner through cooper piping. The PVC is hooked up to the pool heat exchanger and the pool system. This is all we have...... We do not have an aqua stat or any of the other things you show in your pic.

He is an electrician/plumber who owns his own company. It wasn't installed by a dealer.

We do have the pool heat exchanger. It is located under the wood burner where it is suppose to be. The PVC goes into the pool heat exhchanger. Their is no pool water mixed in with the wood burner. I repeat no pool chemicals in with the woodburner water. It was professional installed but....... We are trying to heat 17000 gallons of pool water. What are our options? The wood burner kicks out hot water to the pool for apx 5- 10 mins. Then the wood burner temp drops significantly fast. Then no more heat to pool until the temp of the wood burner rises again. Husband wonders if it would be beneficial to adjust the t valves to restrict the water flow to the pool as an option? We don't understand why it doesn't heat the whole pool...

Oh no 
that's not good!!
We bought our boiler from an individual who was a dealer here in Ohio. We told him we needed the pool hooked up too and to add on the costs of what materials we needed to do so. He didn't install the boiler nor the hook up the pool part. He advised us to call a local electrician to do so. The electrician installed everything with the dealer coming back and ok everything. Oh.... That makes me worried now. I know we bought that extra part that was like $500 so what your telling me is NO PVC should be used at all.

Pools & Hot Tubs / In ground pool heated with Central Boiler 5036... Hot water doesn't keep flowing
« on: March 15, 2013, 12:10:18 PM »
Hi, this is the Mrs. With summer and pool season around the corner I just wanted to ask a question..... We have a central boiler Cl 5036 hooked up to our home and pool. It heats the house and hot water. We had an electrician install it to the pool 18x36 in ground. Ever since it has been installed we can only heat the pool for 5 minutes and that's it. The water jets in it nice and warm and then quickly always turned to cold within 5 min. We just then gave up on it...... Well, it has been this way for 6yrs and this mom wants to swim in a heated pool that she paid extra $ for the parts from Central Boiler. Any suggestions as to what is happening here? Hubs thinks lines are getting too hot too fast (whatever that means)
I have photos attached to see if that helps anyone figure why we can't keep the warm water flowing for more then 5 min ever
It DOESN'T matter if the wood burner temp is 160 or 180....... Still turns to cold water into the pool in a very few min. I keep seeing people post about a aqua stat what's that? And would that help? Just sadden that our pool is "HEATED"after spending extra on the pool accessories. Hope this summer we do have a ACTUAL heated pool:)
Thank you !!!! Kerry
