Aquastats and Controllers
The aquastat controller on your outdoor boiler serves some very important purposes. Mostly, it controls the blower fan and draft, opening and closing the draft to keep the outdoor boiler water in a desired temp range.
If it weren't for your aquastat, your boiler would require constant attention so that your fire does not burn too hot (and boil out your water) or too cold. (and you freeze!).
The aquastat is a cool little component in an outdoor boiler that allows us all to enjoy life without worrying about our heat, except once or twice per day when we need to add wood. Not only do we get to save lots of money on our heating bills, we also get to have a life in the meantime! After all, we need lots of time to enjoy spending all that money we are saving on our heating bills!

What does an aquastat do on a boiler?
An aquastat is the device that controls the boiler water temperature. All aquastats have a high and a low set point. So for example if the high set point were 180 degrees and the low set point were 160, the aquastat would begin heating the boiler water when it drops to 160 degrees, and stop heating the boiler water when it reaches 180 degrees.
