Lurk around here but first time posting. Running a Heatmor OWB full time to heat hot water during summer and the full house during the winter. Only issue seems to be its heating the whole house during the summer.
Low down on the system.
OWB pump runs full time into the house. Supply runs into the house and through a backup oil burner. Then runs into 5 zones (1 being hot water) with a Taco 218 Flochek valve at the start. At the end of each zone is a Taco 007-F5 Circulator that turns on when the thermostat calls for heat.
My understanding is that the Flochek will hold the water at the start of the zone until the circulator starts up at the end and pulls the water through. Right now all zones are running hot without getting the call for heat.
I’ve tried replacing either a Flochek or the circulator and seem to have the same issue. Am I just overlooking something stupid?? Or is the OWB pump just pushing the water to much to let the Flochek and circulator do its job?
Thanks for any ideas. Wife isn’t happy with the constant tinkering..... And a hot house.
