3. How often should a pellet boiler be refilled?: Depending on the system installed, each refilling of the tank lasts about 3 to 7 days.

4. How often does the ash need to be removed?: Due to the low ash content of pellet (less than 1%) the ash box should be taken out once a month during the season.

5. Is a pellet boiler quiet?: Definitely - the level of noise emitted by a pellet boiler is negligible. It is certainly not a nuisance, especially considering that the boiler must be in a separate room.

6. Are pellet boilers safe?: Yes, because the pellet boiler has its own automatics with the necessary safeguards - a discontinuous fuel feed, boiler water thermostat, STB safety thermostat, thermostatic safety valve on the feed, etc. In addition the fuel, namely the pellet, is not toxic or explosive.

7. How large an area should be devoted to the boiler and pellet store?: A 23 kW boiler along with the container only takes up about 2m2 . In the case of double delivery during the season, the fuel store will need around 2-3 m2 in a dry space.

8. Will there be enough material for the pellet?: Yes, definitely! Man, since he first started taming fire, has mainly used wood for heating. Even such long exploitation of these natural resources has no effect on either the local or global ecosystem. The raw material for pellet is wood - the fastest renewable fuel. The same cannot be said for other fuels such as coal or oil. Pellet is an ecological fuel, since firstly, like other fuels from bio-mass, it is of organic origin, and secondly it is produced from by-products of wood processing. This means that not a single tree needs cut down to make this fuel. It is worth pointing out that by-products constitute over 50% of the original wood material, and until now have mostly gone to waste.

9. What form is pellet sold in?: The pellet distributed in Poland is available in portable 15-25 kg sacks and in a "Big-bag" 1T pack.
