There are 3 types of stainless steel and these furnaces are #409
409 - Titanium Enhanced – Not subject to acids like other 2 (#304 & #403)
304 - Has a lot of nickel – soft, shiny looking metal
403 - Similar to 304 but harder. Acid in wood eats at it – Definite "No-No" in furnaces
These have forced air for instant recovery
- No need to drain furnace. Only have to clean ashes out approximately every 3-4 months
- Ned to maintain 9.5% acidity level. Check twice a year with test strip
- An exchanger attaches to water heater and saves on water bill
- Average domestic hot water for 2 people is approximately $25-30 a month, plus $10 for each
- Child & $15 for each teen. - Save this money by purchasing an exchanger
- It will pay for itself in less than a year
(side arm exchanger or plate exchanger)
Acidity in water eats anything – even the 409 steel
- Solution to that problem is the "Boiler Life Plus" additive
(for stainless only - other additives available)
- We can do winter time installs
Lay pipe on the ground then return in spring to put it in the ground
(this requires an available winter sleeve for ultraviolet protection)
- Can either have concrete pad base or Geotextile (which is just as stable)
- Put Geotextile on the ground then crusher run gravel on top
(see pg. 12 of the installation manual for more detail)
Note: The only time Geotextile is not as stable is if sand base or ground is "sandy"
- Geotextile purchased from Larry part #11430 6'x6' piece retail $25.00
Chimney caps available - Not required but recommended
Maxx R Pipe Insulation System
If your current wood stove system is designed to give up 15ºF across the hydronic heat exchanger located in your home: you would have a 15ºF drop in temperature. From your furnace to your home, and another from your home to your furnace, you will have used enough energy to heat 3 homes just like yours, plus you will probably be loading your boiler 3 more times than necessary.
Maxx R Insulation gave up less than 2ºF over a 500' run at freezing temperatures in recent tests.
Made of polyethylene closed cell material that will not break down because of freezing soil or ground impurities, and will not become saturated with ground water.
R-Value = R-13
Limited lifetime warranty when installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. |
