    a clamp on probe will get you the temps. the pressure is less important, the temps in different places will tell you a lot about the flow. I'd pull one of the circulators with the isolation valves and see if there is a flow check in the circulator. If there is and it is undamaged and you are getting ghost flow you have problems with the way the circulator for the zones and the circulator for the heat pump are connected together.

    It’s hard to beat eyes on the ground. Hopefully you have a knowledgable hp expert on the way.

    You have a good list of questions here to get answers for.

    Please report back if he figures it out. Inquiring minds want to know!

    That is outside my wheelhouse but I will look around and see if I could find someone I would contact Water Furnace and ask their input and suggestions for a technician. Here is a link to their dealers close by. Water Furnace

    I called and talked to a rep from Water Furnace and he directed and recommended me to a company. They are out of Latrobe which is relatively close to me. I contacted them about stopping out so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping they actually follow through.

    Hopefully he recommended someone good. I think WF is pretty good stuff.

    Let us know how you make out.

    Were you able to calculate gallons per minute at 8 dt? you can see how much heat you were extracting.
