Woodboiler Aquastats

[Tractorsaw1]

I have had a Heatmor 200 since 2005 & seems like the Honeywell aquastat on the low side goes bad about every 6 years or so -I'm sure that bouncing some pieces off the back wall occasionally doesn't help. Has anyone converted to a Ranco style digital controller? I haven't researched it a lot on the probe sizes & how to wire it up. My dealer didn't have any & I picked up the wrong one - maybe I can swap some of the guts?

Also its time to clean out the hot water plate - any good products to pickup locally to circulate thru that? Last time it clogged up I took it somewhere to clean it out but installed the valving to do it in place. Last night I used ZEP & seem to work pretty good.

Bump, I still need to do this conversion & heating season is amongst us - anyone?

We still just use the mechanical stat in my inlaws hardy. Sorry not too much help Patrick.

Hows everything else? Hows your boy?

No worries - Daniels great - had a lot of fun fishing this summer. We went a lot lol - every night I would get home from work "so dad - what are we doing tonight?" Its been busy but enjoying life. Got out to hunt a little with my dad who came up from Florida. High school softball is over - soccer & volleyball not far behind. 2 truck loads of firewood cut & stacked at the stove. How are you guys? thanks!
