 Started by  MrsC

Hi,
 
This is my first post on this forum.....please be kind.
Anyone out there had any experience of an Aquatherm Eco stove?? I'm considering putting one in my new build but can't find very much background information on them on-line.
 
Any comments would be very much appreciated,
 
best wishes,
 
Mrs C

I just found their website and there is certainly a dearth of information offered other than rather outlandish output claims. I would be a little cautious.

What prompted you to choose this make?

Need a large out put to hot water, and has to be a woodburner to help my house meet new renewables building regs in the Republic of Ireland....also it looks nice!

I can't say the website gives me the feeling that this is a product I could buy. They claim 80% efficiency - I think you might well find better. There's very little to reccomend it. I would find a reputable stove / boiler supplier near your home and talk to them - see what they can offer you.

There's a user review of that stove here:
www.whatstove.co.uk
 
I'm interested in the Eco P34 model for similar reasons.

Wile we are talking about installing a stove i have just bought a clarke international parlour stove, when i have opened up the breast i can see that the metal 5inch flue liner bends at approx 45degs it only allows me to fit approx .300 of the steel flue pipe that exits the stove. How much distance do i need between flue lining and flue pipe, and is the 45deg bend a issue.??

There are too many "Experts"who give their own pet selection
of stoves.let us hear from those who actualy have stoves
installed and can give their experiences of finding an
unbiased engineer(Legal)who was able to do the job completly
and without the usual"Bull"that seems esential in the UK.
Please stop "Ego" stroking.

We supply these stoves to our customers so I should point out that I have a vested interest.
The output and efficiency results for this stove are from the independent lab test results from the EN 13240 test that all reputable stoves go through.
The Aquatherm stoves are designed just for wood, whereas most UK boiler stoves around today were originally designed to burn coal. Hence these stoves have big fireboxes and very high efficiencies.
This is partly achieved by a tube with heat exchange fins on it running over the top of the firebox. The attached pic shows how the flue gases move round that tube.
As always I would recommend that your installer fits a load unit - eg Esbe LTC 141 or Laddomat.
 
I hope that all makes sense.

Hi
In the midst of replacing boiler on our Rayburn Nouvelle (solid Fuel) and need to replace sodden rock wool. Is there a greener alternative that anyone knows of? If not and we have to use rockwool does anyone know where it's available?
Any advice welcome - more cold weather forecast so job needs finishing asap!
Thanks
Suec

Just found an answer to a thread I posted. It seems the Aquatherm Eco 34 is a good stove. 80% output is so much more efficient than our open fireplace and they do inserts into fireplaces, which is the only way I see we can make use of the large fireplace we have.
 
There is a lot of comment on accumulation tanks connected to log boilers which I think the aquatherm would be. How would I use it to heat the water and possibly boost radiators?
 
Really sorry if this is very basic - and thanks!
