Greetings from Saskatchewan. I have a shop with natural gas heat but I also have in-floor heating pipes not connected to anything. I would like to make a panel with black pipe and circulate water through the floor when the water is warm enough. I can handle the panel and the pipes, the pump and a pressure tank, but I get confused about the switches and thermostats. I just want a gizmo that turns the pump on when the water in the panel gets warm enough. Can any of you point me in the right direction? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Any differential controller will do what you want.
The tank sensor would just become your slab sensor.Comment
