It would help if we could see pictures of the installation. Is that possible?

BadgerBoilerMN said:The first drawing appears to be correct. It also appears that you have re-piped from the accepted primary/secondary to the direct pumps method, which is accepted by Burnham but not recommended because of the requirement for careful flow considerations..
BadgerBoilerMN said:If I had to guess, the pump on the primary pipe is bigger than the pump on the indirect. If that is the case, I would re-pipe to the original correct pipe schematic and switch the pumps (making sure the axis of the pump I level).

I am not sure I understand the moving the pumps or maybe I misunderstand what you are saying. The manual calls for a 0014 or a 26-99 on the boiler secondary pipe pumping into the boiler. The 007 could be used on the tank if the piping was change to a zone useing diagram 32C or 32D.
Dana, isn't it both the supply and return water temp that determines the amount of condensation. You can have part of the boiler at a condensing temp and part of the boiler hotter than condensing temp. That would mean that only part of the boiler is condensing. This might happen when the return temp is getting closer to the high side of dew point where it is not going to condense.
This is awkward, but...
