will this work on a closed boiler system?

Howard,Great question.............I believe it could work well in an application of this type. I have used electronic water conditioners in industry as well as residential with positive results in both cases. Never on a boiler specifically, but on heat exchangers for cooling equipment which is a somewhat similar application.

I have heard of outstanding result from people placing it on the recirculation line of the boilers.

I don't see why it wouldn't, as long as you put the wire wraps around the closed loop somewhere.

Sorry but I don't know. I doubt it since it is porcelain and part of the double boiler. Good luck.

It will but it must be dry And enclosed completely, this heater uses a lot of power, as much as a household dryer.It's more designed for a enclosed shop. If your pipes are freezing and that is the only problem I would use heat tape it is much more efficient. I hope this helps.

Probably will work. That's what I have and I have 6 of these for all the zones. My answer assumes your heating system uses low voltage at the thermostat (not 110V). And it probably does, but you should verify.

That's a good idea. I would think as long as the bottom of the top pot doesn't touch the bottom pot - and the handles could prevent that - it would work fine as a double boiler.

I've never tried it...but I think it would work based on the amount of steam the unit produces. It's not a rolling boil but it is a good, steady steam. Good luck!

It should if you set it up for indirect heat. It won't actually be.a.smoker though. It is very frugal on briquettes. Once you shut the vents it will extinguish the.briquettes.

Some have answered as if this was a dumb question. Its not. If your furnace or boiler does not provide a 24 volt lead you could use an external power supply to power this thermostat. If you have extra conductors available to use in your thermostat wire, you could plug it into the service plug next to your boiler or furnace. Then by connecting the external power supply to the tstat wire, you could power the tstat. If you don't have any unused conductors in your tstat wire, you could power it by feeding it power at the thermostat. While this is do-able. It would be ugly because there would be visible wires leading from the outlet where the power supply is plugged, into the back of the tstat.

Yes, I'm running an oil fired boiler with 2 zone recirculators to hot water baseboards. I have 2 of the FocusPro5000 thermostats, one for each zone. They seem to be working ok, been installed about 2 months now. I am mad of the deceptive description of the AC and battery power option on the FocusPro 5000, you cannot power this thing with 24V AC with a 2-wire thermostat system.

If this is a closed hot water system, I would think that it should work. I use it in a motor home Aqua Hot hot water heating system. Hope this helps.

yes. it has 3 options: low heat, medium heat, and full power (low + medium on), and a mechanical thermostat. so, if you put it on a timer when turned on, it should work. one important thing to watch out for, though- heaters use a lot of power, so you'd want a timer that can handle that kind of service load. i think most timers are designed for lights and other low power loads.

It should work fine. I have approx 50psi on my supply line and the float closes it no problem.

Yes it should work okay. Just make sure your hose attatchments are pointed in the right direction.

is it a hydraulic action? Do you plan on heating the fluid? I would think that would work. On of the smaller units would work too.

Don't know for sure but I think it would work OK. The impellers are plastic but I highly doubt they would get hot enough to cause any problem, especially if you place it as far from the furnace as possible.

type of boiler doesnt matter at all, this is for the OIL line, usually it says on the top of the filter canister, but this is the type of filter used in most homes ..when in doubt take the old one out, make sure you shut off the oil first

Yes it will work. Most units are standard until u get to the brand new models. Most common mistake people make is thinking its the heating element when its actually a high temp limit switch. For the money try the heating element first. If that doesnt fix it i would look there. Good luck.
