THANKS HTP!!

Mark Hunt

I want to say thanks to the folks at HTP for helping me resolve an issue with a boiler install.

The Munchkin 199m ran flawlessly for one year and then weird things started happening. The boiler was having delayed ignition problems and the ignitor was showing signs of severe oxidation.

John Sawyer andf Jeff Cook of HTP both told me it was a grounding issue. The customer would not call his electrician and was considering removing the Munchkin. Last Saturday I decided to prove the problem was NOT with the Munchkin and I went back to the job with a volt meter.

When I disconnected the neutral wire from the breaker panel and tested between it and the ground bar I had 120 volts!

I ran a new wire to the boiler and it has run perfectly since.

This gentleman is building another home in August. I am looking forward to putting ANOTHER Munchkin in that one!!

Thanks guys.

Had a similar problem on my first Buderus

Logomatic control 2 years ago. I at first thought I was going crazy, then thought this control is crap, and then the service techie from Buderus nailed the problem from 500 miles away. (I was very impressed) I ran a new wire and all was well. (Here's a pic of my latest munchkin install) WW

Hey Jeff

I won't make it to WW-3. I will be out of town the week after, going to Wirsbo class. Can't afford to be gone 2 weekends in a row. Air fare, accomodations and leaving my fam for so much, my wife would have plenty of time to take the furniture and disappear to her mothers, leaving me with the kids. Ahhhhhhhhhhh! :-)

FINGERS ARE NOT A METER

@** and scorching everything black.
Seriously, this was one of those times where the customer was convinced that the boiler was a piece of crap. Thanks to HTP and professionalism on Mark's part, not only did the customer do an about face about the quality of the boiler but he also gave us the plans for the new house he is building. Perseverance does pay off.

Finger method


First let me thank my partner Darin for sharing with the WHOLE WALL my secret test method. He actually suggested touching my tongue to the wires like you would a 9 volt battery but I opted for the finger method. Darin likes the tongue method, which would explain his speech impediment.

Murph, don't make me come down there!

Eleft, let me know when you're ready.

Jeff, you guys ROCK!

Wiring for boilers

I have to say the mechanical part of the Buderus install was very nice -- congratualations! However I know from bitter experience make sure your wiring is of the same quality -- the wiring is hanging on this job and you are asking for trouble in the long run -- sloppy wiring shorts out or catchs on someone with a wrench going after a pipe so be careful.

Wayco Wayne

Thanks

for the advice. Neatness takes a lot of concentration for me. If I get a little better each time who knows how far I'll go. Hey Mark! I'm coming up to Saranac lake in Aug. Too bad the campsites don't have electricity. I'd have you do a blower door test on my Pop up camper. :0 WW

The fingure methode

The fingure methode hey I tyed that a few times with AMPS draw and with out either way it is a rush. I prefere the no AMPS methode it is a lot safer besides it throws you across the room in stead of holding you there untill you eye balls pop out, your hair fries and your life flashes in front of you just before your hart goes flat line. Remember testing a 12,000 volt ignition transformer across the teminals with a wooden handeled screw driver that my brother used as a chistel. Now thats a rush and after it is over the memory never goes away. Buzz on my one fingured friends buzz on.
Well Murf catch you at some point hope to see you at the plant soon the door is open to you and all trades men. Wayco I hear the wisbo class is excelent and hope to attend soon have fun and learn alot. Chow for now

Wayco Wayne

Ha!

My pop up can't even hold all the rain out much less hold any air. Thanks for the offer. WW
