Hydronic in-floor heating systems offer more even heat distribution, energy efficiency, and can be compatible with various flooring types. They also provide a comfortable and quiet heating experience, reduce allergens in the air, and can be controlled room by room for personalized comfort.
There are several types of antifreeze that you can use in radiant (in floor) heating systems. Some people use a 50/50 mix of glycol and water, while others want to go the non-chemical route or a specific in floor heat antifreeze.
In-floor electric heating works by using electric cables or mats installed beneath the floor surface to generate heat. This heat radiates upward, warming the room from the floor up. This method is efficient because it heats the room evenly and eliminates the need for ductwork, which can lead to heat loss. It also provides comfortable warmth by creating a consistent temperature throughout the room.
Contact the manufacture of the infloor cleaning system you have. They might offer a life time warranty on it. Otherwise it takes a special tool to remove the head that only a pool pro would have. The manufacture can recommend a service pro in your area.
Kits are available to make sure the toilet flange is level with the new floor. These kits are adjustable because of the differences in thickness of flooring and material, any subflooring laid down, grout, infloor heating etc. . Ideally, you want to seat the toilet on the wax gasket, and attach the mounting bolts, and have the toilet flat on the finished floor. These kits are easy to find and use.
Geothermal systems are highly efficient.The only outside energy required is for components of the geothermal unit. Half of the energy from the sun that hits the earth every day is absorbed by the ground. The result is that the ground remains at a constant temperature of between 10 and 15 Degrees C all year round at a depth of six feet below the surface. A geothermal system consists of a geothermal unit, generally located in the basement of a house, which is connected to a Ground Loop that is buried in the earth. Water circulating through the loop pipe absorbs the heat from the ground and takes it back into the house. The geothermal unit transfers the heat to air that is drawn through the unit and blows the warm air around the house using standard air ducts. Alternatively, the heat is distributed through pipes containing water for infloor heating. In the summer, the process reverses. Heat is taken from the air in the house and put in the ground, which is now cooler than the air.

Yes it is possible to bypass an In-Floor Cleaning System. My first question would be, why would you want to? In-Floor Cleaning Systems are much more efficient than any portable cleaner. If you are having problems with your pools cleaning performance, I would look into flow adjusting your cleaning heads, before investing into a cleaner. Also It will probably be cheaper to repair the floor system, than to buy a portable cleaner. The easiest thing to do would be to buy a Polaris Suction Cleaner, such as the ATV. This can be installed via the skimmer fairly easily. If you want a pressure side cleaner, then you would need a dedicated return line. If you have wall returns already plumbed in your pool, You can retro one these lines to feed your Polaris. Polaris sells a return kit allowing you to do this. Good Luck INfloor Parts.
