Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. My project has gotten to the organization stage. Time to clean up the tables and tool carts.

So I've had a couple days. I have one thing figured out. There is something going on with the pump and balance. I isolated the barn floor from the stove and had the main 1" line loop back and everything works as it should.
I am going to go down the path of separating the barn from the stove. As...
So I tried something tonight to see what might be happening and now I'm more confused than ever.
I turned off my return at the stove and shut down the pump for the barn, thus making one huge loop.
It starts at the pump on the stove through 100' of 1" pex to a water to water exchanger then...
Thanks for the replies. I was thinking about an exchanger in the barn, but I don't have a water source in the barn for system loss. I am still leaning that way and just manage the barn water level.
It is oxygen barrier in the floor.
The two pumps aren't balanced. Since they share the same...
Ok, I tried to bleed again. I shut off the return at the pole barn to the stove. I then went zone by zone purging the air. I then turned all the zones on and no air bubbles in the bucket. I then slowly turned on the return side and I started getting air. I also saw the temp rise up on the return...
I don't have issues boiling the stove. You comments make total sense. I think Air is the culprit. I'm going to try and bleed the system again and see what happens. I did the calculations again and the pump I have on the stove should have no issue.
Do you think since the stove and the barn share...

Here is my setup.
Yesterday I saw the incoming water as high as 120*, but the return side hasn't gotten above 40*.
I did the calculation again and the pump should be good. My calculations give me 6.6gpm at 12' of head. That is using the add 2 method.
I think it must be air. I've purge...
So I fired up my heating system yesterday and I think I got some bad advise from the local heating supply store. I haven't went out and checked this morning, but I don't think I have enough water volume and now I could really use some guidance as I'm afraid I'll be freezing the slab and I think...
A few more. The trenches were just done last weekend.
My biggest issue is the time it has taken for the contractor to finish. It isn't done yet and the poles were set August 5th. No changes were made since the poles were set.
