[QUOTE="upsnake, post: 4543135, member: 53254"] NSMaple1. I just have a small cheap 10 plate, no circulating pump, and same as speed, there is no problem, i have the gas on pilot. (Older style water heater with out electronic ignition). The water in the tank stay hot for days even with no use, but with normal use the water is always hot and virtually unlimited. Temps In ~55 ish, well ground water. Temps out of plate, Depends on flow of water of course, but with a shower and a faucet going ~ 130, then up and down a little bit from there depending on the actual boiler temp, flow rate etc. I also have the mixing valve, I would not run the system without it. Colson04 - Once you get thing working you are going to love the plate setup, unlimited water, and by using the tank you have a 40 or 50 gallon buffering tank so no changes in temps. [/QUOTE]
