in THE MAIN WALL
In a single zone closed system with aprox. 2500' 1/2 pex all loops less than 300'. Will the taco RMB circulate this system by itself or will I need another circ. pump?

    well, it is going to depend upon the heat loss of the structure

    if for example i had a 2500 sq ft tent it would not preform the identical same way r-24 walls ,R-48+ ceilings,low _E windows with few fenatration issues surrounded on three sides by hills with south facing glazing for example,there are a few variables in the equasion. is the ability to pump ice a requirement? glycol? how thick a slab ?is it insulated? what you may need is a bit of a blowerdoor test.because iam fairly certain it wont pump ice. adding water to an existing slab with out determining some of these variables can lead you into trouble real quick.

    Est. heat loss on design day(-10deg) is 60K btu's/hr. This is new construction and is not yet done, so a blowerdoor test is not an option. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to put together the system.
