Thanks for the responses. I should have made it clear that it was a closed system. Enough heat to keep it around 45.Here's another question: I was going to staple the tubing to the insulation and pour a 4" slab, but I've read that the optimum place for the tubes are 2" from the surface. How do people feel about that? I'm thinking of running it over small squares of 2" insulation so the tubing runs up and down along its path... Opinions?
Thanks.

I've read back through all the posts and it seems like the pros are discouraging the use of a hot water heater as the heating source for slab heat.I've also been told that I'd need a heat exchanger between the heater and the return manifold so the delta T would be smaller?
Sorry if this gets asked every week, but is there any advice? Detached garage application.
Thanks.
