Plumbing / mixing valves vs. zone valves

« on: December 23, 2011, 07:44:29 AM »

I have fired up my homemade boiler and everything is working great,wife said it is to hot in house now.I'm getting ready to hookup some subfloor heat. wondering whether i should run thermostats in every room with zone valves or feed rooms constantly with mixing valves?  total of 4 rooms probably about 200' to 220' runs in each.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Need help- Circ pumps keep failing

« on: January 26, 2011, 12:07:56 PM »

Is it possible there is a check valve in the system and the pump is working against it? Sometimes the circ pumps come with plugs in the flanges to keep debris out, just suggestions. I know your probably at trial and error trying not to pull your hair out.
