New to the forum, but after looking around...I'm glad I found it! Wish I would've found this years ago!
On to my question/issue...
Heatmaster G200s plumbed through several grundfro pumps to a hot water coil then to a heat exchanger in the plenum of my oil Thermopride. I currently have a honeywell aquastat on the feed line from OWB before the HE which is wired to a fan relay inside the oil furnace. This is all wired to a heat/cool 2 stage thermostat (which I hate). Having issues getting the oil furnace to fire when the OWB isnt burning. I'm guessing because the aquastat is in the equation...
I would like to wire up a second thermostat and get rid of the 2 stage thermostat ( I do not have a/c).
If I were to use a second thermostat, can I wire the aquastat in that scenario to only run the fan for the OWB if the temp on the aquastat is high enough? That way the fan wouldn't run if the fire was out, and the oil furnace would fire once the house temp drops below set temp? I'm assuming I would have to run a second tstat wire?
Would this get rid of the issue of the fan continuously running if the OWB fire goes out? The fire rarely goes out throughout the winter (I work in the oilfield and sometimes dont get home early enough to keep it burning), but it does happen...
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
