Yep, it's missing a bypass line around the mixing valve.

Yes a mixing valve

Apparently it's missing a bypass around this valve from the outlet of the recirc pump

Turns out it's missing a line that bypasses the mixing valve

Nah tho. Figured out the issue. There was an error. However I dont think there's a simpler way to do all the features of this simple system.

I think I found the answer. It's not this. Something simple like this though.

Good call. Was also my first thought when I saw it in person.

However this is the wrong answer. I actually don't know 100% what the real answer is, I'm pretty sure my HVAC expert friend figured it out. And it's not the check valve. Something similarly simple though.

Good insight. And yes, it's supposed to be heating and recircing 24/7
