So I am planning a heated mud room for the summer. I will need to put it on sauna tubes because of rocks as foundation in this area. I would like to install radiant heat in concrete, not shure if I can without the extra cost of someone to pump it. Anyone use something similar to war Board? How do you like it?  Radiant in the walls?

Pipes in concrete, CAN NOT be run with 180f boiler water, you have to mix down.

I prefer to put pipes in concrete, because it is really hard to retro fit and put the pipes in later  ::) but thats just my opinion

OK gald to hear you have no issues mixing down, just wanted to help make sure you had all the information you needed before you pulled the trigger

Coolidge,
Something you may want to look into is called Smart Trac by Watts.  I will be using this system on an upcoming project.  The thing that impressed me with this system over others I have installed is that you don't need to cover the PEX with metal/flashing so as you put down your finished floor you can see the PEX.  Should save time in marking/measuring to avoid hitting something.
