Circulators or Zone Valves?

September 24: Residential Focus
Presented by John Barba, Dave Holdorf, and Rick Mayo

If you were King of Hydronics and you could dictate to the industry how to zone a system, would you insist on one circulator per zone, or would you rule in favor of one circulator and zone valves?

It’s an age-old question, and in this session of Taco Tuesday, we’ll examine the pros, cons, realities, and myths of both options. And by the time the hour is up, we’ll provide you with the ultimate and definitive answer as to which one is better and why.
