HOT FLOORS

Glenn finished the in-floor heating hook up today and the hot water is flowing. It will be several days before the concrete feels warmer but it is on the way. It will be wonderful to step out of the shower onto a warm floor.

So  this is the distribution centre for our radiant floor heat. The hot water comes in through the copper pipe just below the pumps and the pumps send it out to the different zones depending on the thermostat readings for that zone.

The cold water is returned to the heat exchanger through the copper tube just to the left of the orange pipes coming out of the floor. Those orange pipes are one of three zones in the house.

All the electrical wiring was done by Shawn Martin. As you can see everything is neat and secure in its place. Thanks Shawn.

All the heat for the radiant floors comes from the white domestic hot water tank seen above. The blue tank is our pressure tank for the water system in the house. The silver pipe above the white tank is the direct vent for the HW tank. That copper box on the wall is the heat exchanger. Small isn't it.

This is the pressure tank for the radiant floor system. Glenn's work is neat and tidy and he made sure everything was working properly before leaving. Thanks Glenn.

Click on  the above picture to see the temperature of the water going into the floor. Look at the black arm, bottom left of the dial. The black arm in the top half is the pressure in the system.

Temperature of the water returning from the in-floor heating. It will be pumped back to the heat exchanger to be warmed up.

If you have any questions, just ask and I'll try and post an answer.

Safe travels everyone.
