We have had radiant infloor heating for 20 years. But the tubes etc are filled with some kind of glycol. Then we have hot water tanks for household purposes you were wondering about.

thats not the first time I have heard that so I may have to reconsider my thinking on that note.
our boiler is all hot water for our heating, we have baseboard type radiators in the house that dispenses the heat. Our boiler also runs the infloor in the garage, again with hot water, and not glycol.
the funny thing is, the gentleman that we bought the house from, did a major renovation to the home about 5 years ago, tons of upgrades, new cabinets, new flooring, garage add on 26x42ft to the existing double garage that was already attached. He literally spared no expense in doing the upgrade but he cheaped out on the most important thing, like the boiler and hot water system. Makes no sense to me.
so now I get to deal with it..
