In this video I continue filling the system with Cryotek -100 Propylene Glycol by filling the second and final snow melt manifold. I'm using a Wayne PC4 1/2 HP pump available on Amazon here: [ Ссылка ] This pump was able to push the cold glycol through all 7 loops on each manifold simultaneously, purging all of the air. If you missed the previous 2 days, you can watch them here:
Day 1 - [ Ссылка ]
Day 2 - [ Ссылка ]
Stay tuned, as in the next few videos we will be filling the remaining manifold containing the loops for the basement and garage slabs, as well as the heat exchanger and all of the secondary piping!

The playlist will have all of my videos in the correct order form start to present, regardless of the date I uploaded them. It starts with how I designed the PEX and Snowmelt Loop Layout, shows the process of installing the actual heated concrete slab, demonstrates how I did the math to calculate the boiler and pump sizes, installation of all of the components, and ends with lots of time-lapse of the system melting snow. It also includes snowmelt system startup and shutdown videos, as well as walkthroughs of the mechanical room, continuous circulation design and electrical system.
I will be uploading more videos of the system in action each winter, as well as several videos of the installation process, including soldering, filling with glycol, venting, etc. If there is something in particular you would like to see, please ask, and I will make a video of it.
