Thanks for checking that for me Rich. I was hoping to have a bypass to the water pump put together by now but I have had no luck getting fittings for the hoses, all the parts stores have are steel fittings and I would like to have brass, the local Menards plumbing section didn't have anything either. Going to have to go online to get what I need, so it'll be a week or so before I can report back again.

The 180 stat is helping some, gets the T-stat open faster so I am not getting to 250ish degrees now, saw 230 today then it dropped.
