I got my Thermguard today in the mail, ordered it late Saturday night. I purchased just one unit and plan to use a 4PDT relay to turn on all 3 of my zones together. I may use the fourth position on the relay to keep the boiler from firing and just use the unit to circulate the water in the zones, not sure yet. Also plan on wiring it to a thermostat mounted to the concrete basement wall to turn on the Thermguard when the temps drop out side making it fully automated.

Yep, it is a very nice little unit that does exactly what it advertises.......and the peace of mind it gives is priceless.
Just ordered two Thermgaurd units. One for the basement and one for second floor.
One of my kids turned up the pellet stove thermostat to 74 on Sunday night and two forced hot water heating zones never opened during the -10 temps. Long story short. I spent 14 hours Monday replacing five 4ft sections of burst heating element. I had a hell of a time sweating pipes because of all the ice in the line. When I finally finished replacing all the heating elements, I still had to chase all the frozen sections of pipe with hair driers (burnt out two hair driers during the process). Got everything up and running around 1:30 AM on Tuesday. Never again
As I said in the begining....Two $70.00 Thermgaurds on order.

Good for you FordMasterTech. I have some schematics showing just type of connection if you are interested. It sounds like you have matters well in hand!
