[QUOTE="lindnova, post: 5151070, member: 117329"] I had a too tall sidearm with a too short tank that did not work well. I went with a 30 plate 4x12 Brazetek flatplate and it works great. I put it in line with the incoming cold water, used unions and a bypasses for summer or to clean it. I also have a mixing valve to control the temp to the house. A 20 plate 5x12 would be ideal as the 4x12 has the fittings real close together and less surface area per plate. Also, most codes require double wall so if it leaks the fluids do not mix. They cost a lot more and I don't know anyone who has one. I figure if mine leaks the domestic water pressure would overfill the boiler water. As far as ebay, make sure it is UL approved and check on the manufacturer with a web search if you go that route. [/QUOTE]
