A simple book on hydronic heating?

dano415

1. I know I'll get hammered by the Professionals, but I respect most of your opinions--

especially Alan Forbes.



2. I wanted to email you directly Alan, but I didn't want to bother you.



3. A few years ago I put in a simple hydronic heating system. I bought Modern

Hydronics and while it was great, it was too complicated for me.



4. My question is this; Is there a need for a simple book on the installation

of hydronic heating. Kinda like the " Dummies series"', but with many pictures?



5. I truly believe the main reason radiant heat is not used much on the west coast

is because installers don't know how to put systems together. People have said

the reason is hydronic heating doesn't jive with cooling systems, but I think that

is just an excuse.(I know it does, but that myth exists anyway.)



6. Please don't leave nasty comments--I don't feel well. Thanks-- if you gave me

any input.

I agree...

Radiant heating does not need to be as complicated as some people make it (myself included).

This site also has great info. http://www.radiantprofessionalsalliance.org/Pages/default.aspx

Mark Eatherton just took it over, look for more good things to come.
