I have been working on a little plumbing project this weekend. A couple of weeks ago I got an email from someone off of the web site who was talking about how great the tankless hot water heater on the Traeger corn boiler was. I had not hooked mine up last year because I figured there was enough for me to figure out without the wild card of trying to use the furnace as our domestic hot water supply also. By this year, I figured I was ready for the advanced class!
I wanted to hook it up in such a way that it would run in series with my existing hot water heater. Then by switching a combination of valves, I could run either the Traeger exclusivly, or the hot water heater exclusivly, or run the Traeger as a pre-heater to the hot water heater. What I came up with is the drawing up at the top. I got everything test fit earlier in the week and so this weekend has just been a matter of fluxing the ends and sweating the joints. That and a break to run down and see the new Harry Potter movie.
