165 ft. Of thermopex 1 way.  Sidearm and 20 ft. Of pex to water/air hx then back out.

Buy locally or at least from a reputable company, 3 speed Grundfos is nice, watch the temp differential and set the speed accordingly

What slim said is very important, because yes you can probably buy a cheaper on one-line, but if when it breaks in the middle of the night on a weekend (probably a holiday weekend) how long will it take to get a replacement pump shipped out  ;)  unlessyou have a backup pump for everyone in the system (some of us actually do, but that is a lot of extra $$$, just sitting around)
