Hello, Have been looking at various epoxy floor finishes and I really like the one in the attached picture. It's from a a company called Lab Surfaces. I contacted them directly on how to achieve this effect. The rep said that I had to contact the supplier. I contacted the supplier and the...

That's why I was going to get the Delta t pump. I noticed looking at the specs of exchangers and for example to get 100,000 for a given exchanger you would need 10gpm at 180f. So I figure with temp gauges, Delta pump and adjusting the temp of the water heater I should be able to get the right...

I have the radiant side done already. I have pretty much what you have listed including a pressure relief valve and manifold. The supply side I decided I will get just get an exchanger larger than 10,000 btu and a Delta t variable speed pump. This way I can increase the temp on my hot water...

Pex in the floor which is already installed. Force air is already in my house when I bought it.

The Btu is correct. I have used many a calculator including design software specific for radiant heating. 10,000 Btu is the maximum required based on door/window sizes, spray foam insulation (R20 walls and R32 ceiling) etc. Slab is also insulated with r-10 rigid board underneath and on the...

I have a 300 sq/ft garage that I am heating with in floor heating. The heating requirement is 10,000 BTU/h. I want to use the hot water heater from my house to pump water through a heat exchanger as a heat source. I have used google to find calculators for this purpose and found a few but I am...

I am building a garage and I have poured my concrete floor. I would like to coat it before getting any stains on it. I was looking into epoxy floors but the price for quality stuff is expensive and it seams the cheap stuff is useless. I looked a bit into paints but they don't seam to hold up as...

So I finally installed my pex pipe. In an album called "pex tube layout" are some pictures of what I have accomplished.

I have 2" of insulation below and on the sides the slab. I was also thinking of running some rigid insulation along the outside of the slab along the garage and man door.

I downloaded Loopcad and played around with it to get a few different layouts. I uploaded them to an album under my profile called layouts. I don't have enough posts to be able to add images to this post at the moment. I was wondering which one is best and also if anyone has suggestions on how...

Hi, New to hydroponic floor heating. I pretty much get all of it just uncertain about the pex layout in the floor. My floor will be 13' x 21' or 273 square feet. Not a whole lot. I have a few ideas of what I may do as far as a layout. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some resources to...
