Hi all ! I bought a used e 1400 and with some great appreciated help I have installed it myself . Just a little background of my setup I own 14 wooded acres in Smithfield Maine I have a DK 35 Kioti  tractor so i cut my own fire wood . I have been running a memco m 100 for the last 10 years so I am not new to wood boilers . I am new to this unpasteurized ODWB systems . I did install a 50 plate heat exchanger . My ODWB is 70 feet from the house and then 50 feet to the heat exchanger I am running a 007 pump on the ODWB . I know nothing about sizing pumps so that would be my first Question. Should change that pump to a bigger pump ? My second question is what do you use to clean in behind the air holes ? Any info any one else has would be greatly appreciated.

ericr1965 - Welcome to the forum.  Lot's of smart people on here. 

My E-Classic 1400 has a Taco 009-F5 on it (It came with it).  I believe the 009-F5 has a higher head pressure on it as opposed to the 007.  I may be wrong but someone with more knowledge than I will offer their expertise.  Roger
