Im thinking its the same trouble and needs to be lower in the boiler. I have to set the aqustat to 125 to start circulating when the boiler reads 150/160. The aqustat to start the circulator is also connected via a barrel connector and sets it high. I removed the T and its now the gauge on the boiler is reading much higher, similar to the exit water temp now. ![]() With that it wasn't reading over 140, even though the water coming out was at 220. Part of my problem Ive discovered is the gauge for temp and pressure on the marathon was connected via a T and had a air release valve on it. What temp do you have the marathon boiler circulator aqustat temp set at? I was thinking of having mine start at 150. I fired it up again tonight with a plug where the Samson goes and got it up to 170, unfortunatly my flue temp was getting pretty hot, over 600, with a wood stove I tried to stay under 500, what flue temp should I expect to be running to get the marathon boiler up to the 180-200 range? Luckly, a contact at Samson in Canada got back to me and I was able to order it from them for $77 US dollars and shipping. Hi thanks when I get my new Samson I will set it up as you recommend. So, anyone know about these Ammark draft controllers? Can I get a replacement? Can I take it off and clean/test it? I have inline temp gauges on the wood boiler output and the input and the output got up to 220 deg and the return was coming back at 215 so the wood boiler should be at least 215 deg I would think, but the temp gauge on the wood boiler was reading 160 max.ģrd - I did get a ghost flow through the first floor heat zone so I do think ill need to change that circulator out for one with an IFC. It heated up fine, the circulator kicked off and I got hot water flowing through the oil boiler (set in series now) and at about 9am we had hot water to shower with, COOL!īut a few things, first it appears the Ammark draft controller isnt working, it never lowered the arm down.Ģnd, the temp/pressure gauge on the top of the wood boiler I dont think is reading temp accurately. Its a Marathon Logwood conventional unit. ![]() ![]() Hi All we gave the wood boiler a try this morning, I turned the oil boiler off last night and fired the wood boiler up at about 8AM.
