I recall reading somewhere about running the DHW supply in loops under a bathroom floor to act as a mini radiant system en-route to lavs, sinks, etc. In the article, the installer used it for small area floor warming, and it did not reduce the spout temp of the water adversely.
We're completing roughs and wonder if anyone has has real world experience with this and can offer advice. We're not looking to heat the bathroom, just remove the chill from the key parts of the floor. Our DHW is being plumbed with tank, return and (hopefully) gravity feed--prefer no pump though maybe here it will be needed.
I wonder if response time to heat the floor will be too long, and for these spot applications, to embed some electric under the tile and be done with it.
Thanks for feedback or references to sources.
