Title: Question
Post by: froggy22 on September 03, 2011, 09:20:11 PM

Now that I have my exchanger plumbed I have a question.

  My exchanger is at about 6 1/2' off the basement floor and the furnace is about a foot or so lower than the basement floor.

 Question will the water STAY in the exchange when the circ pump shuts off, or will it seek level and drain back to the tank water level?

If it seeks tank level it may change the tank level,  will I have to run my pump continuously, or just try and see.

Unless you have a leak that lets air in, it will stay up in the heat exchanger. (same way water stays in a straw when you hold your finger over the end)
