Glycol is commonly run in this type of system at least in cold country; it is a nice way to heat even way out where I live - if you can insulate well enough not to have permafrost issues anyway. (Oil is much more efficient as a fuel source however using the Toyotomi 180-type water heaters- out in these parts)
