JohnC Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Has anyone ever seen a tank like this? It was connected to a 1973 New Yorker boiler. I think it is a type of cold water storage tank for the tankless system, but have never come across this before.

Bill Kibbel Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I still come across some tempering tanks preceding water heating equipment. They're always in buildings supplied by well water. They also allow sediment to settle out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks Bill, The house has town water, but I doubt it did when it was constructed. So I take it the purpose of this tank to naturally temper the cold water? John Callan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yep. Ground water temps up where you be at are 42-47 degrees. Average GW temps here are 55 degrees. I have a tank that I planned on using for tempering, but never get around to installing it. Happy blizzard John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
