A high-recovery 50-gallon Rheem gas model can recover up to 81 gallons per hour. When buying a high-BTU gas model, be aware that it may require a 4-inch flue rather than the standard 3-inch flue that probably currently exists in your house. ...
I put a diverter valve in the return water line to the boiler. When closed it forces return heating water to go through the domestic hot water tank coil, giving up heat to the tank and lowering the return water temperature closer to the condensing temperature of about 135 degrees F. It ...
