@ January 2, 2012 7:41 AM in Buderus vs Biasi vs Slant Fin Eutectic EC-10... Quiet?
Would be the quietest of them all. The Buderus with an NX would be quieter than the Biasi. The Buderus with a Reillo would be about the same as the Biasi. I have no experience with the Slant Fin.http://www.technicalheating.com/sites/default/files//styles/large/public/DSCF0010.JPG

is reality for most people. A convincing story for most reasonable people (I'm including myself in that group). I just hope he saved the old thermostat, it's the only way I can think of to get out of the situation.I Believe

is set to manual it should only affect a zone on constant circulation. It can't over ride the thermostats. Your supposed to set the aquastat dial to 140 degrees when using the manual over ride. The instruction manual also states overheating may occur when using the manual over ride setting.Can You

post some photos showing the detail of your system? How long have you had the system? It sounds like the outdoor sensor could be bad or maybe just an adjustment to the Logamatic. The house shouldn't overheat unless the main zone is on constant circulation while on manual.Your Boiler

isn't going to get to 165 too often, probably only on a DHW call. Most of the time the stack temperature will be much lower. Don't forget to subtract the ambient air temperature the burner is seeing to get the net stack temp, which is the one that really matters.I Use A Zone Valve

for the indirect and wire the boiler circ and the system circ together. The end switch for the DHW zone valve goes to DHW on the boiler, the rest to RT. If you want priority use a RIB relay to interrupt the other zone valves or a zone panel with priority. I'm not a big fan of extra circulators but if you really want to, use a RIB relay as an end switch on that circ to make the DHW terminals on the boiler. You'll still have the issue of no priority but I haven't found that to be a problem with the 100.That's

@ November 27, 2011 7:52 AM in Summer/Fall Upgrade Suggestions
405 is not bad if you have a masonry chimney. It will keep condensation issues away.The way the Logamatic fires the burner, the run times are reduced along with the stack temperature. I'd leave well enough alone.

@ November 5, 2011 8:08 PM in Best Tstat and boiler settings to use on a mod con?
I set the "dumb" thermostat at a single temperature setting and let the boiler control do the work (setback). In the case of the Vitotronic it requires a little programming in the control, which I'd need the manual for myself. Sure it can be a little challenging, but that is the power that the control has (knowledge is power, right?).How are those gas bills treating you Bob? Sounds like pretty good.

It's still old and should be done away with.
