@Intplm., he mentions it in this video at the 17:37 mark.
Re: Monoflo tee and pumping away
And why were circulators shipped on the return in the past? I remember reading an article that @DanHolohan wrote years ago. I believe he mentioned one reason was ease of shipping?

Re: Lochinvar boiler isn’t keeping up
I have six daughters and one son. They were all teenagers at the same time, so you can imagine what the hot water demand at my house was.
I installed an outdoor wood boiler just because of the domestic load. When we didn’t use the wood boiler during the warmer months, the entire family got by using a 50 gallon gas water heater. They learned to schedule their showers around mom and dad’s and each other.
I install a lot of boilers and indirects and an 80k btu boiler with a 40 gallon indirect is always more than enough for an average family. It’s only when there’s an unusual demand (like a car wash shower or a large hot tub) that more capacity is needed.

Re: Honeywell Tradeline Catalog
Well, I guess I got my answer.
You have to search Residio not Honeywell. Apparently, no catalogs available. They do have a site you can search but it is tedious.

If anyone thinks he is coming back to fix it after a year he is long gone
Re: Is a small water heater an acceptable solution for extra heat on a heat pump system?
my wife has bad allergies so bringing in wood and the like are just not a thing. We have hard floors too. Just some rugs in the current home.
I like a little fire myself so we burn them outside. One of the fun things to do with an old washing machine tub.
Bratwursts last winter when we were finishing the roof and solar panels.

Hi, You could leave it halfway between B and C, and see how it behaves. 🧐

Re: Is a small water heater an acceptable solution for extra heat on a heat pump system?
Does the HP have an electrical element for boost? I have the Vitocal and the indoor module has a resistance element built in for some boost. Although the program allows you to lock it out, which i did.
I do have a backup boiler and if the outdoor temperature drops the COP to 1 the control in the Vitocal calls on the boiler.
The output curves for the HP should show you the cross over point that makes sense.
