Thread: eko 25 all hooked up but pump set up to run all the time.

OK, sounds like a pretty straightforward loop setup, storage would help, but that’s a different issue…  Right now it sounds like you have the pump running all the time, which I agree is a waste of electric, plus it probably isn’t helping your wood consumption any either… It sounds to me like you want to end up so that you have three control inputs - 1. Is the boiler hot? 2. Is the house...

I don’t thimk I have a mixing valve. A heating man hooked it up. I will ask him about it and show him in the manual. I don’t think I got a manual. .Can I down load it? Thanks goose.

ihookem - 24 November 2009 08:37 PM My pump is set up to run all the time. I don’t think this is good. My heating guy never hooked up a gassifier soI don’t think he knows how. Is there a way to hook it up to the thermostat in the furnace? If so how do you dou this? could save some electricity and I don’t like running water if it’s not up to temp. Thanks, ihookem.   Are we talking pump from...

Goose if he had a fire last night and there was not much call for heat there is no way his water temp in boiler could cool to 78 F.  It is 78 C.  You need to reread the post before you accuse me of being erronius

Run the pump power circuit back to the...

mine is hooked to my controller it turns on when the boiler reaches a set temp as others have said it should not be circulating cold water into your poiler as it will slow down getting to working temp dramatically I would think not to mention the cold shock to the boiler which from what i read on the forum is bad for our boilers over the long haul.

I think he means he is loosing 9* from boiler to house.  Am i correct??

Hello, New to the list, I have an idea that worked for me until I get a mixing valve. I have a late 70s boiler, and my only experiance is with pot belly stoves in cabins. I ripped out the old Forced air oil furnace last year and installed this 70’s wood boiler, but hooked it up direct, no mixing valve, and it would take 8 hrs to heat up the house and get the water up to temp (195F), with the pump running all the time to all zones of...
