Thanks to those who have helped me in the past. I have not done much posting but I sure have used the info here a lot over the past few years. I hope I have something here to contribute that may help someone else in the future the way all your postings have helped me. What I have is a Tarm Solo 30 with 500 Gallons of unpressurized storage. I followed the pluming recommended by the Tarm folks in Lyme NH (Not so far from where I live). The tank is a square stainless steel 1/8 thick with a lid I found on Craigslist. I added 4" of yellow insulation to the outside. I have 240' of 3/4" soft copper coils inside and another 180' for domestic hot water. I have a back up oil boiler. 4 zones but only 3 being used currently. (all baseboard) I have a 40 gallon electric water heater I plan to switch to a Superstor that will run off my 4th zone. You can't see it in the picture but I had to add a new chimney so that delayed my install. I fired it up for the first time on Saturday and it is running great. Questions...
I find my internal flu temps will not go over 400 even with very dry wood. Is this normal?
I have my aqua stat for the circulator set to 160 and as a result the boiler and the storage never seem to go any higher than this. Should I consider something a little higher to get hotter temps into the tank?
My fan does not shut off until long after the fire is out. Should I increase my low limit?
Thanks
