    Expert/Advanced Level Question regarding modcon and buffer tank

    Buffer Tank Price I have 7 zones. if each are running at same time, even 5 or 6 are running, i really need the larger ports on the buffer. 3/4 would really be a bottleneck. From all the buffer tanks i priced, Vaughn is substantially cheaper. at least from my research.

    Expert/Advanced Level Question regarding modcon and buffer tank

    Have a new PROPERLY sized Burnham Alpine 150. I have 7 baseboard heating zones of which it does not make sense to "combine" them. Its only been a couple of months since i have had it but because of the micro zones i'm getting average run times of 5-7 minutes. The DHW runs at least 15 minutes...
