    Set up issues

    in my experience, this proves to be difficult as the water level changes in the pump section. if your ATO has a larger margin, or if you don't have an ATO, if you change your filter socks/or your roller changes to a new spot then the level will rize... etc. 2 things could be at play here...

    Heating my tank with my Natural gas Hot Water tank!!!

    I forgot to add that I am stealing the hot water from the wifes kitchen sink this will serve two purposes it was close, but also shouldn't have to wait very long for hot water if you're at the kitchen sink or the bathroom sink or the washing machine

    Heating my tank with my Natural gas Hot Water tank!!!

    Yes i finally had the opportunity to hook up a loop between my sump and hot water tank... and it works TOO good! im working on the programming to slow it down a bit... using the osc command i am going to slow down the heating. VERY happy with it so far.... i hate electric heaters with a PASSION...

    Khg saved the day again!

    my calcium reactor intake line sucked up a piece of crap and corked itself off.... i didn't notice it as the last few weeks at work have been annoyingly crazy... but thanks to the khg... i got an alert last night that the alkalinity had dipped below 7 on the display.... fixed the problem.... now...

    Diy water heater?

    Maybe you have a better quality solenoid that I can use along with the pump so that I know that the water can't bypass the hot water tank if somebody else is in the house is calling for water, it's a grundfos pump that I'm using I know I can handle the temperature I just don't know if it can...
