REFERING TO J SIEGENTHALERS ARTICAL APRIL 2004 PM MAGAZINE TITLED THE LONG WAY AROUND. DEALING WITH EXCESSIVLY LONG LOOPS. I CURRENTLY HAVE INSTALLED THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM, WHERE A HOME OWNER LAID THEIR OWN TUBING 1/2" HEPEX SERVING ONE ROOM 12" O.C. 1 1/2" GYPCRETE NO UNDER FLOOR INSULATION. IM ONLY TRYING TO CORRECT THIS ONE 650'LOOP, CURRENT RESULTS 20 DEG T AT FIRST START UP. HAS ANY ONE ELSE TRYED THIS METHOD? WHAT KIND OF RESULTS HAVE YOU SEEN? IM ALSO THINKING POSSIBLY SNOW MELT WITH THIS SYSTEM?

    series pumping?

    seen pumps installed half way round the loop
    seen parallel and series
    push and pull...my thought would be to find the center cut it in two 32o+ loops on same zone call that good...less guess work
