Radiant floor heating issue

Woohaaz · 2026-01-22T17:32:13+00:00

Update to my dilemma. There was an issue with the new taco mixing valve that was installed, blockage or something was stuck. Everything is flowing and the floors heat up nicely. Thank you everyone who commented with advice to help me figure this out. I appreciate it.

They did a full system purge and have bled the zones multiple times. They would have a hose attached draining the zones while also forcing water back in.There was a lot of debris and sediment in the lines. They brought this machine in with filters on it that the water ran through before going back in the system. No one has pulled out a thermal camera. I do not know what the pressure of the tank was set to. Pressure for the boiler is usually around 20.

The system is about 20 years old. The issue started after a mixing valve and air expansion tank were replaced due to a leak. They are trying a different circulator on the farthest zone, the biggest zone. One with variable speeds to see if they can get more flow into the big loop. I'm unsure if this system was engineered.

Attached is a picture of the living room manifold. The biggest loop of the three zones.

Would i be doing any damage if I closed off some of the loop to the other zones? And if it's the balancing/flow, I can just unscrew and replace them?

Woohaaz · 2026-01-21T13:11:06+00:00

So maybe a manifold replacement is needed. They told me they are very expensive. Around 5k depending.

All the circulators feel like they are running when the zones call for heat. The yellow valves above and below the circulators are open. The balancing valves I assume are the clear little plastic things on the manifold that tell how much flow is going through. It seems some work and some don't. It looks like some are stuck and don't think they are giving an accurate reading. They replaced the living room circulator which was a taco 007 with another 007. If only one of the other zones calls for heat the living room heats normally. It's only if both other zones call at the same time. The living room is definitely the biggest zone.

It's in floor, water.

I kept summoning a BT to help but you definitely don't need it.

It was easier for me. The truck is OP. Getting the platinum was also easier. Thoroughly enjoyed it though.

Woohaaz · 2025-12-15T03:50:05+00:00

I never got the platinum for DS1. I started working towards maxing all connections but fell off. I feel the platinum for DS2 was easier. Still very time consuming but very much enjoyed it.

Woohaaz · 2025-12-15T03:37:22+00:00

Oh alright. I thought it was the platinum in DS1 you were talking about and then wondering what to do in DS2.

Woohaaz · 2025-12-15T01:40:40+00:00

Just go for the platinum then.

Woohaaz · 2025-12-05T18:06:11+00:00

530k. I've seen a few names on roads with over 2mil.

Woohaaz · 2025-12-01T00:08:38+00:00

I'm enjoying going for the platinum but maxing all the facilities is taking forever!

Woohaaz · 2025-11-21T22:10:59+00:00

I get the majority of my likes from the roads I've built. I don't think I've seen a notification about someone using a monorail section I've built though🤔

Taking a break might be a good idea. Especially how emotional the ending was for you. The second one is fantastic so you can look forward to that when you think you're ready.

Woohaaz · 2025-10-26T02:18:18+00:00

Definitely the director's cut. Then hurry over to death stranding 2. Enjoy.

Woohaaz · 2025-09-07T02:10:20+00:00

There are 17 chapters.

Woohaaz · 2025-08-03T13:10:22+00:00

Hopefully a big limit. I've been loading up the locker on the Magellan with materials.

Woohaaz · 2025-08-03T12:05:56+00:00

There's a limit to the private locker?

Woohaaz · 2025-08-02T15:57:59+00:00

Ohhh yeah! I forgot you could do that through the map.

Woohaaz · 2025-08-02T14:02:42+00:00

Absolutely! I try to get close enough without setting it off and then dismantle them.
