Hi, I'm new here but have dropped in a few times to check it out. Seems like a great site. <P>
I have a question about a good operating temperture for hot water heat with baseboard rads. I ran into one yesterday at a lady's house that was operating at 230 degrees F and then I went to check one that I own on a rental house and it was running at 210 degrees. These temps seemed high since our boiling point here at 6000 ft. is about 200 degrees f. I turned the one I own down to 190 degrees. My user manual does not seem to have a suggested temp. and I havn't been able to find much googleing around. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. HS. The pressure on both of these units was less than 20 psi.
