I have had my owb for 3 seasons now. I have not really ever used the oil furnace. I thought that it would be good to get the furnace in good working order as a back up. I installed a relay on the OWB pump so that when the oil furnace kicks on it cuts the pump from circulating water, before this the air from the oil furnace would be cool after it blew through the 60 degree water circulating through the water to air hx. I have found that while the oil furnace is running that the water in the hx is reaching 210-215. I can hear it popping and gurgling after the furnace fan shuts off. Is that ok? Everyone else that runs this set up must have the same issue?

NO IT IS NOT! water getting that hot is pressurized or at least creating lots of steam, do you close the ball valves off or have a flow check in the system, is it a pressurized system with an expansion tank, Honda give me a call, Ill PM you my number
