Search did not find much so please forgive me if this has been addressed.

I am close to completing an open loop radiant heating and I have one obstacle left.

I am currently Teeing from the hot water feed to a Taco 009 pump into a four zone manifold under the floor back to a manifold and the sending to the bottom of the water heater.

My trouble is that I am able to acchieve good flow when I send the water to the floor. However, when I send the water back to the water heater my flow goes to next to nothing.

Is there a way to circulate the water under pressure (80psi)?

Thanks,
Mike
