Revision history [back]

I'm trying to setup a model with the cold water from on onsite well. I've made my own measure to add the swell and tank, and connect the storage tank to the waterUse:Connections objects, and that seems to work fine.

However, I can't seem to figure how to to get the well water to be used for the water heater.

Now in the long run it would be nice to be able to do it all in Open Studio. I'd think I should be able to on the blue water showing the water supply and change that from Utility to some water storage tank, or other source. But for right now, even if having to hand edit an .idf file, I'm not sure how to make it happen.

Not Next shot shows the water equipment. The source water, the blue tank to the right, I've made a measure to change that for from a blank field in the model to the well storage tank, and that works, what I can can't figure out is where in the model to change the upper left blue makeup water for the hot water plant loop. I've yet to figure out the field in any object that it might be.
