switching relay; problems with pumps
I have a taco 2 zone switching relay. 2 thermostats are supposed to power 2 separate pumps. my problem is that when either one (thermostats) calls for heat both of the pumps respond. where did I go wrong. thanks

You miswired it.
do you have a picture of the wiring?
I'd first point out that you need two relays to control two pumps with two thermostats.
A more detailed description of your setup would be helpful.
I read it as he has a 2 zone relay.... DPDT/CO or similar or even a NO/NC/NO contactor....
but like ya said... more info please...

You mean an interlocking relay, so they don't both come on at the same time?
