What are you using for a thermostat.

I've been kicking around using a Best t stat. I don't know if I would ever recoupe my my money, but these things intrigue me.

Edit:

Nest thermostat. On a tablet here and the auto correct is a mofo to deal with.

thermostat, and a switching relay to turn on the boiler and the pump

I put thermowells in mine to check in and out temps, I also put in flow indicators. These things should be manditory in my opinion. It is so nice seeing the speed and flow of the liquid. Temperature readings work well, adding the visual aspect to the job of balancing the system really helps out the DIYer's

Does the HTP eft not come with a thermostat? Or is there supposed to be more than one. And ow exactly does this switching relay work? Thanks

Does the HTP eft not come with a thermostat?

no .. you can set the water operating temperature, but you need a room thermostat to tell it when to turn on and off

And ow exactly does this switching relay work?

a switching relay takes a low voltage signal from your thermostat and turns on the 120v to the pump, and also closes a dry contact to tell your boiler to make hot water

Thanks

you're welcome
