Tricks to shutting the fan off at low temps?
« on: October 26, 2015, 07:10:47 PM »
When I'm gone for the weekend, I come back to no fire with cold air blowing from the fan.  I have a MF3000 Heatmaster, is there anyway to shut down the fan when it hits something like 100 degrees and let it burn out on its own and not get blown out by the fan?

I’m sure slimjim will respond as he does this all the time. Basically all you need to add is a strap on aqua stat to one of your lines that opens on a falling temp which will cut juice to the fan.
