I just started to follow your project. I have been thinking about doing something similar with my well water. I think I have read all the threads but I did not see anywhere why you chose not to just send the return into the sump pump discharge line. This would recuce the on time of the sump pump and you would always be getting a supply of 50F water to go to your radiator. You would also get rid of the 2-55 gal. drums in your basement.
