I still don't have my DHW heated by my wood burner. I do have a coil in the Wood Gun and ran 3/4" pex from the basement to the garage where the unit is, but haven't hooked it up.
I won a bid on ebay in Nov. for a new Weil Mclain Gold Plus 40 gallon. ($177.50)
Thats sitting in the basement. I was planning on hooking it up to the Primary/ Secondary loop I have as another zone. I've considered running the cold street water through the pex out to the WG so it would fill the tank with heated water.
Then last week my installer gave me a one year old Super Stor Contender 50 gallon for FREE. He took it out of a house that the people wanted a larger one.
Sooo, now I'm thinking of hooking them both up to have 90 gallons of DHW. It's probably way to much storage for our needs, especially since the recovery is quick on both tanks.
But you know how it is, gotta have more and more and more. Just look at my wood inventory!
What I am thinking is to have the hot water supplied from the primary/secondary to the first tank and then flow into the second one. Then the second one would supply the house. I would use the aqua stat on the first tank so that it would have to use all of the second tank and some of the first tank before the zone switched on.
Does that make sense?
