New install of Tarm 140 with storage. First fire yesterday, 850 gal tank currently at 131 (top) all the way down to 59 degrees (bottom. It started at 47 for the whole thing.
How much stratification is normal?
I think I'm having trouble getting all the air out of the system.
Beyond that...the balancing valve above the Termovar. The instructions say to never fully open and never fully close, but to adjust as necessary. However, nowhere does it mention what to adjust towards. What's the goal? I have a feeling that I should be getting a higher percentage of water from the tank to mix with the rest of the loop, but if the water coming in from the bottom of the tank is too cold, the Termovar isn't going to let it in anyway; correct?
