Heatmor outdoor boiler

Putting Water on the Fire may not have hurt the Boiler, because those Boilers don't have a Metal Bottom, and if you had the boiler full of water, then it should be O.K.

But it could be you didn't do the Draft Fan any good by the Water, take it off and dry it out, and then put Power to it for just a second, if it starts, then it's O.K. but if it don't then take it to a Motor repair Shop for a replacement or repair.

Replace your Temp. Control and when you put your Draft Fan back on, and your Temp. Control, just turn the control up and down with a screwdriver, and it should trun the Draft fan on and off, Set the Temp Control to your desired Water Temp. I have mine at 170* F

Make sure the Boiler is full of Water at all times, you can remove the Rubber Water Ballest on top of the Boiler if there's one there, they just ware out and give problems, the Vent on top of the boiler will remove any excess water, and as long as the Boiler is close to Full of water, it won't create any problems.

the Heatmor Boilers have a tendency for the Welds to leak, they must not have good Welders up in War Road MN. from my perspective. more over, the Boiler has to many Welds for what's needed. Keep on Supply - Some Boiler Stop Leak Powder or Chemical, just in case you discover a leak in the Winter... that should do it for you, good luck, and I hope that helps you my friend.....

I`ve had my Heatmor for 9 years and never had a leaking weld, nor have any of the Heatmors that several of my friends have. The only failures to date among the bunch of us are a couple of bladder tubes, a few hoses, and a few sets of grates.

BTW, the bladder tube serves an important function and it shouldn`t be wantonly bypassed. If one should develop a leak it is simple to go to a farm store and buy another 11x16" implement tube, cut the valve stem out, and RTV the pipe nipple stem from the Heatmor in and you`re back in business.

Regarding why Pierre`s boiler was overheating, he already explained that. It is not due to a faulty aquastat, it`s due to the fact that the water escaped when the door hose failed. It`s just like your car or truck with a radiator leak, no water = no heat and a false temperature indication which fooled the aquastat into energizing the fan to bring the water temperature up.

Pierre did the right thing by extinguishing the fire since the boiler can be damaged by overheating. In all likelyhood he has not damaged his boiler but he may have toasted the blower. If the blower is no good another can be purchased from Graingers for somewhere in the neighborhood of $60. The item # is 4C446, I happen to know this because I bought one yesterday, mine is starting to make noise after 9+ years of service. The dampers will have to be transferred to the new blower and then it`s a simple job to wire it in. BTW, these blowers do have oil holes on the bottom of the motor which should receive a few drops of oil a couple of times per year.

I really like my Heatmor because it has been pretty much trouble free and if it did have a problem there isn`t much on it that a resourceful person can`t fix by themselves, thereby eliminating the stranglehold that some dealers would put on a person in need.

It could be --- your a Heatmor dealer and have to defend this boiler, at any rate, I've had my WoodMaster Boiler for over 10 years and had No Problems, and I hope you don't have any problem either....
