    what should the reset curve be set at?
  • Gordy
    Gordy Member Posts: 9,546
    Set boost temp to 0 , and boost time to 0. Those are default.

    So the boiler is not bouncing off hi limit? Cycling you getting good condensate?
  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131
    system is 84 f and the flame is still 100%
  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131
    the outside is hooked to the right terminals
    condensate is flowing
  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131
    I don't understand bouncing off high limit
  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131

  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131

    The temperature in parenthesis is the temperature it's trying to reach. Determined by your ODR.
  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131
    system 100 (128)
    flame 100%
    I changed the setting on the pumps but setting started to rise faster
  • Gordy
    Gordy Member Posts: 9,546
    Don't mess with the circ. if your heating fine the pump is fine.
  • Gordy
    Gordy Member Posts: 9,546
    Are you piped direct to the boiler, or P/s?
  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131
    direct
  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131
    when i turned the circs on low, it was heating faster
    I had it on high, then turned it down, I'll put it back to high, if you think that is good
    101 (128)
    100% flame
  • Gordy
    Gordy Member Posts: 9,546

  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131

  • Gordy
    Gordy Member Posts: 9,546
    Has your thermostat been satisfied yet?
  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131
    it's piped for direct

    no, not up to 71
    was system was 104, changed to high, went down to 102 with in 3 sec,

    So ~20 minutes to raise the water temp by 20°F?

    More ODR, less thermostat, more comfort.
  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131
    I don't understand, your asking me to change the outside setting? to what?
  • maybemark
    maybemark Member Posts: 1,131
    what does it mean more odr, less thermostat?
    what should i be changing?
  • SWEI
    SWEI Member Posts: 7,356
    I'm suggesting you turn the thermostat up to something like 85°F and leave it there. For the next few days, adjust only the ODR parameters until the house remains at a relatively stable indoor temp day & night, regardless of the outdoor temp.

    And don't setback, I believe you mentioned you had the heat turned down.
