[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 477613, member: 6969"] 1000 litres is pretty normal for a heating system based on a stove and back boiler, also for pellet stoves. The theory is a stove runs best on a long hot burn, so you have a large capacity tank to allow the stove to work long and hard to heat it, then it will provide several days heat before the stove is needed again. The only thing poor about this install is using 3 single phase timers rather than one timer and a contactor. And you need something like 9KW of heat for such a big tank, a single 3KW heater would take too long for any meaningful heat input. [/QUOTE]
