How do I size a recirculating pump? I noticed Grundfos? makes many sizes. I’m using two 1″ – 3/4″ trunk lines that go to each end of the house and two 1/2″ return loops that T into a 3/4″ line in the middle and goes back to the storage tank type heater. Each run is about 30-40′ to the farthest outlet. How do I size it? GPM’s, size of pipe, friction loss? etc. Thanks everyone. Tad
