Hello
When I put in the Indirect Domestic Hot Water tank I saw how the temperature adjustment works on the aquastat. However since I like some feedback as to what the real temperature is coming out of the hot water tank, I installed a Pasco brand temperature guage a few years ago. this way if anyone complains about the hot water in the house I can see what the temperature of the water is coming right out of the top of the tank. It was working well until a few days ago when all of a sudden it took on some water
See pics.
So I brought it back to my local heating supply wholsaler and to my dismay there is only a 1 year guarentee with the original sales slip. Also I found out that they do not stock these $29.95 temp guages anymore!! I wonder why?
The Water peressure in the house is regulated to only 55 PSI !!
So I purchased an Ashcroft bi-metal temperature guage that they now stock for $43.00. It has a long thin shaft instead of the short stubby shaft like the old Pasco.
Does anyone know if this will work any better?
As you can see in the pic with the new Ashcroft Guage the water temp is 100 Deg F.
The aquastat is set to 120 Deg F so I just bumped it up to 130 deg F. Hope I do not use alot more oil
