So it's getting cold enough to warrant the wood boiler and last season got great results with top of storage tank temps at 200 f and bottom near 180f. With that I only have to charge storage every three or four days
My question is I have got it up to 180 and notice my pressure is higher than last season. When I started 1000 gal storage was 50 f and I have 80 gallons expansion just thinking when water was that cold all summer my auto fill might have let in more gallons to heating system if it dropped under 12lbs
Does anyone know if I have roughly 1050 gallons total and want to operate at 120 f min to 200 f max how many gallons I should remove to stay away from 30psi pop offs going pop?
