    Heat exchanger on water heater

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I am attempting to install aheat exchanger on my water heater. The exchanger is straight forward. But the water heater will need equiptment and repiping. Pump, mixing valve, aqua-stat and mayby more. Looking to find diagram or sequence of equiptment. Any info more than I have now.
    Thanks Phylvessey

    This does not sound like a traditional hot water heater, can you give us more details regarding what you have?

    75 gal electric. Attempting to to use my boiler through a heat exchanger to heat domistic hot water. The boiler loop to the exchanger is set up. To run the water heater through it would require a pump circulating the water heater. A mixing valve to temper domistic hot out to house as boiler /exchanger temp is much to high. A device would be needed to turn on the pump at water heater temperature X. what is this device and how does it work.

    Mark or one our "Yankee" experts is going to hafta field this one. We don't have hot water heating in my area of Florida. If it ever gets that cold down here we just burn the furniture. Regards, Tom
