Radient floor heating

[Unregistered-yeisenberg]

I have radient floor heating in my home (built in 1951), which i recently moved into. I wanted to know if i should drain it over the summer? It is hooked up to a boiler and i just turned the thermostat to cool. Will it develop problems if i don’t do anything to it during the summer?

Fresh water carries about 5% air, which would add 1% oxygen to your system to rust the metal parts inside.

The deoxygenated water in the system is now liquid gold, as it can’t be replaced with anything with less oxygen. Also, it is unusual that there is no anti-freeze in the system, so you might be making a very expensive replacement for very good fluid.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Yes, you really have to find out the MAKE and MODEL to get good answers. There IS more than one machine made.
