I currently have a 14kw electric boiler for my in floor in my shop. Wondering if it would be beneficial to tie in a storage tank as the boiler short cycles quite a bit. I have a hot water tank that was previously used for heating the infloor and want to know if I could use this as a storage tank and where I should make my connections. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
 
What are you high limit/low limits set at???
I guess to preface I should say I have a lion boiler and aquastat is set on at 75f off at around 95f. No out door reset installed or room thermostat. I just run it off of the aquastat and it keeps the shop at about 55f but short cycles often
