    Hi, wondering has any one installed a solo rad into an existing home that uses a stove with back boiler for 80% of household heat ? I know the water wouldn't be as warm from the stove. Wondering what heat output would the solo generate ?Thanks.

    Seeing as the solo heat exchanger waterways are very small, your system must be very clean. When you use solid fuel as your heat source the water can become sludged

    Hi, Heatmerchants said that they will work OK with back boiler. Plumber mentioned the heat issue.

    I'd be more worried about the sludge issue

    I would agree with Dtp on using anything with small passageways on a back boiler system.

    Please follow site and charter rules. "Resistance is futile"
