Copper sure looks nice are you keeping track of how much your install is costing you not including the boiler?

I paid twice started out with copper the first year and the second year rip out the copper and put in pex  . Why?  Because somebody told me  I had to many 90"s and it was restricting my flow.I cant tell the difference  either way ! What a waste

What size pump? I think I'm going to pick up a spare pump I am running the taco bumblebee but it doesn't seem to work well unless it's on high. So I will see what it's rated at and maybe get a comparable pump or up size it one.
