Last year I heated my pool without storage because I had not completed the storage install.
This year the 1000 gallon tank is hooked up and it works much better. The huge buffer allows a steady heat into the pool compared to the 55 gallons using the boiler only. If the wood load burns down and boiler out-put decreases the main boiler pump turns off and the load pump heats the pool from the tank. Last year required much closer attention to the burn cycle.
I am getting a 45 degree delta-T off the exchanger.
Roughly 120,000 btus to raise my pool 1 degree= 25lbs of wood. I have plenty of wood.
