Guys,
My 500 gallons of storage is 120ft from my boiler shack in the basement of my house. My eko 40 has the newer controller. I think I may need to raise the launch temp of my circulator pump from the default settings. The temperature outside has been up and down so I have only been firing the boiler once a day or skipping a day or two. I have a 140 degree danfoos installed for boiler protection. When I go out to check the boiler or make a new fire sometimes the eko 40 blower is running or the circ pump is still on. I think I may be wasting heat by allowing the circ pump to keep running. Also it seems that the blower runs long after the fire is out. Is there a way to turn it off faster? Since most of you have way more experience running the EKO what would be the optimum settings for the circ pump, blower, and hysterisis? I have been burning mostly oddball sized and less desirable stuff now.
