Been Running the Advantage II now for the last half of last season and up until current.
The stove has a pressure switch to shut off the feed if the vent plugs up, but does not have a switch to shut the stove off if the exhaust fan quits.
Not good as this could lead to some serious issues.
I decided that my upcoming rewire would also be enhanced by adding a vacuum switch to the fire box.
Sooooooooo I went onto Ebay and found a Magehelic gauge that is calibrated from 0 to .5" water column
With this gauge I can see what the fire box negative pressure is running and then order up a vacuum switch that will be correctly calibrated for the task at hand.
The little magnehelic cost me $40 including shipping.
Sooooo, I will be able to update the older Whitfield and make it a bit better/Safer.
