Title: Need new aquastat
Post by: dlabrie on December 22, 2010, 07:59:12 AM

I have a Central Boiler Classic.  I put it in around 2002. It has a digital aquastat that controls the damper. The LED panel is shot so I can't adjust the settings. Everything is running fine, but I would like to replace it. Does any one know where I can get one other than through a dealer? Can you use a universal one?
Thanks

Do you use the existing sensor and wire it to the new Ranco?

The ones I have seen come with their own sensor. Thinking of ordering one to use for high limit.

I emailed them and they told me it would replace what I have.
