I had an opportunity to test this system on a cold night in Florida. It works surprisingly well maintaining the temperature. The only problem I have is the noise from the pump. It's a whining kind of noise and I cannot tolerate it for long. I bought this pump - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0196WL55G
It is a different pump from the one John got, so I'll try to switch the pump and see if that helps. Another thing, my system doesn't work by convection only, when the pump is off. I assume that is because the pump interrupts the flow, or maybe it depends on where you splice into the water lines |

Thanks for the update. I am thinking of putting in one of these hydronic systems and this information is useful.

MIK, My pump whined until I moved the pump to pull from the bottom of the tank due to air bubbles at the top.(I don't know why)
As far as the convection issue it may matter how it's plumbed. Should be Top of WH to bottom of exchanger not top of WH to top of exchanger. Mine was set up bottom of WH to top of exchanger and it had convection with or without fan only. Also I had to shut off the valve for my wife to shower properly. Cheers John |
