Hello, Would anyone know of a good website where a guy could learn more about sizing pumps for hydronic heating systems. For floor heat or other systems, thanks, Pdeck

    pump sizing

    I'd recommend getting to a training class. Grundfos' training schedule can be found at the following address:

    I B R school is another excellent choice for good hydronic training.

    The basic information you'll need to select the proper circulator for a closed loop hydronic system is:

    Heating load of the area and the Delta T of the system
    - This information allows you to determine the flow rate.

    Friction loss of the distribution network
    - based on flow rate and pipe and fittings

    Power available (110v, etc)
