Retired HVACR technician here and it’s amazing how these units can be such a small package and work so well .
-
It's amazing that such a small exchanger can bring the temp up that much.
-
I was given a tip buy a plumber years ago when it came to threaded fittings and it has saved me a lot of aggravation over the years. And it was to do a wrap of Teflon and then cover the fitting in pipe dope and put the fitting together it had saved me so much aggravation with over tightening and leaky fittings

Looked at a few houses with a wood boiler. Thanks for the video on how to increase efficiency.
-
Thanks for the lesson,enjoyed
-
Great job! I am trading out my old Taylor for a Earth boiler. I will be adding these to my to hot water tanks.
-
Other than non-boiler season needs, another reason to keep the water heater piped in is for the anode to remove odors. I use the same anode as you based on your recommendation. Great channel, been a subscriber for years.
-
Great vid 👍
-
Amen! I have a wood burner in the house next to a oil boiler . I even roughed in a way to connect something to "extract" the heat. that was 25 years ago. I just need to add that heat exchanger and I will move my electric hot water tank. thanks
-
Do you have any trouble with hardwater deposits on the exchanger?
-
Like your use of copper plumbing, that's all I know.
-
do you have other videos where you show the wood stove and how it connects with the exchanger I'm wondering what happens when your tank reaches it max temperature. How do you stop it from boiling the water. would love to do something like this but scared it would boil and explode
-
I connected the top and bottom of my water heater with a 1" copper pipe as a water jacket and run a 3/4 " copper pipe inside of that for woodburner water to flow through. The system gravity flows through the water heater.
-
So is this like a modifed indirect system? Do you need an electric water heater to do this or can you use an indirect tank?
-
I have had mine since 2008. Water is hot the more hot water you use the hotter it gets just opposite of electric or propane hot water heaters. I have checked mine at 130 to 140 degrees thats a real common number. I fill my boiler with soft water and rust prohibitor it has never clogged or caused trouble. I drain and replace water annually.
-
Do you have a recirculating pump in the circuit to keep the water in the tank hot or is this only to preheat the cold water?
-
awesome video, is the water storage heater running i.e connected to electric, do you have a circ pump running off the tank or just gravity fed?
-
Not sure if it's the same but Pex-al-Pex looks a lot like and seems to be made similar to Kitec which is recalled due to failures surrounding high pressure or high temperature applications. The pipe breaks down around the fittings.
-
How many sq feet would this heat in a house?
-
Is there anything you can't do??? You're wife is a lucky woman to have a husband with so many skills on top of being a good guy. Thanks for all the great info you share.
