Some input please. ( thanks for the help last post, Too much GPM due to a different spec sheet for parts,, MY OWN FAULT- can't be somebody elses?)

    Personally

    I would supply one temperature to both those zones. Add the two required temperatures then divide by two to get an avearge temperature. If both required temperatures are within 10% that's close enough, in my opinion.

    Most radiant is built around a 10- 15% delta t anyways.


    Also consider a modulating electric boiler. They handle changing loads better. I like the Thermolec as it comes in many sizes and has an outdoor reset feature built in. A lot quieter than thase large contactor types.
