Title: Just started up the GT220 today
Post by: RSI on October 15, 2011, 01:43:59 PM: Finally cold enough here to fire it up. Was able to close the bypass and start gasifying (if that is a word I don't know how to spell it.. lol) at 104 degrees. I tried at 99 and it wouldn't start there.

Post by: RSI on October 17, 2011, 10:01:25 PM: I am looking into it. It works here but if I turn the wifi off on my phone and use 3g it won't. I hope my ISP didn't start blocking it or something.

Did you try closing your browser and start over? It might not actually be reloading it.

Post by: RSI on October 18, 2011, 05:44:13 PM: What speed are you guys running the blower at? Mine is still on the high speed. I need to switch it over to the low speed and see how it compares.
Also, what temperature and differential?
I have mine set at 10 degree offset right now.

Post by: RSI on October 20, 2011, 10:17:36 PM: I forgot to turn the switch back on when I filled it tonight. Luckily I figured it out before I went to sleep.
I am going to rewire it so it turns the light on when the blower is off.

Post by: jackel440 on October 21, 2011, 09:24:35 AM: I have my stove wired so that the front light comes on when I flip the switch.it also turns on a clear light on the stack light on top of my stove that I can see from the house.so if I can't remember if I flipped the switch or not.or if the kids forget.I can look out the windproof and see the stack light on.

Post by: RSI on October 27, 2011, 08:04:49 PM: I just changed the temperature differential to 20 degrees today to see how it will work out. It was set at 10 before. This should give me the equivalent to twice the water storage. Will have to see how it works out.
I let it get too low on wood so it will have slow recovery this cycle.
