The question I have is this; I have a Greenfire that I just hooked up the infloor to my detached shop. It came with a Taco 007 pump in the back of it, that runs a loop threw my Hx above my furnace and then is T'eed off to my infloor in my basement. The 007 runs about a 50 loop and then I have a 0011 pump that pumps threw my floor when called for. I hooked up another loop and put a 0011 in addition to run the 120' loop out to my shop. And then another 0011 to circulate threw the floor. Do I need this additonal pump in the back of the boiler? I shut it down the shop heat tonight, just cuz I want to run it for a longer period when I'm home awake. And when I did this I didn't close the valves on the shop pump loop and It seems like that 007 is pumping hot water threw that loop as well. Wouldn't the 0011 in the shop floor produce enough draw to feed this? Looking at it now it sure looks like allot of pump for just doing a 120' loop of 1" pex. (And yes I probably should have done bigger pex but that is what is there)

Hopefully this make sense, If it would help I could take some pic's tomorrow.
 
Any One???
