Solarfocus Therminator Pellet Vacuum Problems

    Hello,
    I am new to the forum. I recently constructed a new house and we opted for pellet and log heating. My experience so far ( 3 months ) has been frustrating.

    My pellets are delivered from the silo to the day hopper by vacuum, and every 2 weeks or so it gets blocked, or some other problem occurs that requires a restart.

    Does anyone have any experience of the SolarFocus Therminator? When it works its great. When it doesn't our house cools down after 1 - 2 days, but the DHW gets cold fast.

    I am not sure if it is a pellet quality issue, a recommissioning issue or something else - there are apparently thousands of these working happily in Austria.

    Thank you

    Did you try changing pellet supplier? Or maybe consider utilizing the log burning capabilities and get some seasoned logs?
