got a buddy with an outdoor stove using it to heat his hot water and his baseboard heating. he's actually got an old Egor boiler. it's a waterheater and a furnace all in one. my question is on the flow side of the baseboard heating there is no pump pushing the water to/through the zone valves to the bases. there is a pump however on the return side just before it goes back into the unit... is that right or should it be on the flow side ?? he just bought the house and pretty sure it worked before but his main problem is that he cant keep the heat regulated in the rooms... he's got all the thermostats turned down but it is still hot. now with it getting hot i think it's because that pump on the return side is flowing constantly meaning that all the water is still flowing through all the pipes if i'm not mistaken. where would i hook up electric so that the pump shuts off when it is not calling for heat... hope all this makes sense... any help would be appreciated. i will try to post pics tomorrow night if i can get some if it would help.
