Now you are a step away from using the system for additional heat. Add a few Ts and a by pass valve to the hot side in the bath and you can run the hot water through a small baseboard heater, do it again after the kitchen sink and pump and you will get some benefit other than keeping your pipes from freezing.
Jim,
You must be clairvoyant. In my shop is a partially built hydronic heat register (along with a nice pump, backflow valve, and tubing) for my trailer bathroom (that doesn't have forced air heat). I should have just bought a Aqua Hot register, but I (foolishly) tend to spend more time and money building things. :h
