If my wife and I took showers together 30-40 years ago, I'd have a football teams worth of kids now. Offense and defense.

Both of us have the required plumbing disconnected. Doesn't stop us from trying though.

I think I’m still missing 2.
A cs62
And the smallest one. I think they made a 36 maybe.
But have never seen one.

You don't say? Maybe someday.

I'll be 50 in three months. The thought of a positive pregnancy test at my age gives me nightmares. <Shivers>

Barb and I were 36 & 39 when we got Sarah. We were sometimes mistaken to be her grandparents. [emoji37]

It got worse when we got Michael three years later.

Good morning, Gentlemen!

Here is what ours looks like @SteveSS


It is a 20 plate exchanger. The lines are all 1" pex.
The top two are boiler water (constantly curculating) and the bottom two are domestic hot.
It has worked great for us.
I *think* it was around $220.

Now for the question of the day...

For the other folks that run OWB's that have the water lines hooked up to your water heater. Do you ever run out of hot water when your burning wood? I was having this convo with some work mates today, and they were raving about never running out of hot water. In our house, the wife and I shower together on workdays because the hot water doesn't last for two separate showers. I've checked all of my valves, and both the input side and the output side into and out of the water heater are almost too hot to touch. So my valves seems like they're in the correct position, with the valve handle in parallel with the pex. If they weren't correct, I'd only have hot pex on one side, right?

Should I be running out of hot water in the mornings with a quickie shower? If not, what should I look at? Sludge in the water heater? Something else?

I want some of that never-ending hot water that my coworkers are raving about.

Yes it sounds like calcium/lime build up in the gravity circulation line to water heater. I had to install a small circulation pump on my water heater. Fixed the problem. Do you have a tempering valve? I have hot water 36 hours after boiler is off. But my boiler water is 170 to 195 degrees. Tempering valve is a must have and mixes cold water to make hot water 120 - 140 degrees. Mrs likes hot showers. Her hot water is to hot for me.
