Sputnik at the SeaHouse

The heating system at the Sea House is to say the least "unique". It has taken me over 6 months to figure out how it works and I a still learning. The main part of the system I call "Sputnik".  It has 15 separate values and 9 different temperature gauges. Sputnik has three water storage tanks and is feed by three different systems:
  • Sparky: Two 6kW electric heaters
  • Sonny: Solar panels that heat water
  • Woodrow: A wood burning furnance
We also have a Danish crown wood burning stove that heats up the house very fast when we get there on a cold winter night. I call him "Woody"
