[Equest-users] Two Primary and one secondary loop for 2-pipe distribution system

Since the two loops do not operate at the same time, it would be accurate
to model the system as a 4-pipe system, and use primary loops only.  this
will allow you to turn on/off the loops as required for seasonal changes.

Hope this helps,

Rob
