I was worried that with the pipe, fittings, valves, checkvalve, etc that the head loss would be high. I did some crude calculations with a 50% glycol mixture with the following tool, and it seemed like the head loss would be higher.

Is there any significant head loss in the Ergomax? The rep was thinking it was around 2-2.5 ft. That seems high to me since it is just a big tank full of boiler water.
