    Steam Boiler / Domestic Hot Water
    Here is a dumb question. With a steam boiler how do you get domestic hot water off them. Is there a typical way that people got domestic hot water from an old steam boiler.


    Thank You

    One of two ways. Either the boiler is designed with a potable water chamber built in, or there is an external tank / heat exchanger. Either will require it's own zone control.
