    More advice needed on radiant garage floor -sorry kind of long

    Yes... that is the question. However, I'm not convinced it isn't the heaters as opposed to the flow. I just have a Taco -007 single speed pump and no flow meters so I really don't know the flow rate. Last evening I put an output to input loop with a ball valve and lowered all the temps such...

So it is operating and flowing then suddenly the heater shuts down. Nothing is frozen and I used glycol 50/50 made for...

    Thanks... I don't see anything about over temp in manual or auto shut off. The thermostat controls the Taco pump and that never shuts off. The flow just continues. Since I just started up the system, the return temp hasn't risen at all yet... just sits at around 63 degrees. The output temp...

    Hello - New here but I've read everything on in slab radiant heat. But I have a few hopefully simple questions. Never mind if the system in under/over designed...I have what I have and I just want to get it to work as best as I can given the facts that already exist. It doesn't need to be a...
