  • Is this normal? Does my system need tweaking?

    COLLECTER TEMP: 68.8 Degrees Celcius
    BOTTOM OF STORAGE TANK TEMP: 53.3 Degrees C
    TOP OF STORAGE TANK TEMP: 53.8

    The pump is working at 95% Speed.

    Should the storage tank be at a higher temperature or is this normal?

    Hard to say. I'd check all the thermometer connections first. What's the flowrate ?

        There should be a flow meter in the control section - a rotameter probably

          Further to this A.M.:

          1.) How old is the system ?

          2.) Have you contacted the installer ? Good installers are usually anxious to help. Info given here so far makes only guessing possible.

          3.) I have Pentair flowmeters in my system. They've worked fine & trouble free for 6+years. try P/N LDF357B. P/N will be slightly diff. for different flow capacities and connections. I got sweated end version. I'd avoid nylon threaded version. Also, CAUTION: Do NOT use in direct sunlight. Price is about $85- $90 U.S., depending on source.
