This system is not very energy efficient or comfortable because the Rads heat up to full temperature (160-180 deg F) by the time the room heats up enough to turn off the thermostat there is enough thermal mass in the rads to keep heating the room a few more degs. This means the house heats up and gets hot then cools down then heats up etc. See the earlier post of the new system setup that should hopefully fix this problem.

Keep up the posts! I found an old 40 gallon hot water tank during our local spring cleanup and have sat it in the backyard to test how hot it gets before I go hacking into our piping system. The weather forecast id looking pretty blean so I doubt I'll make much progress on the research side of things this week.
