Yes you are correct. Both are open because we needed to heat both
sections, temporarily, via one thermostat. I need to reverse this,
putting them back so that there are two zones for two switches. I'm
not trying to bypass anything, per se. It was done as a temporary fix
until we could get a two new switches. Now we want to restore it to
the original, proper configuration. One zone per valve. Does this
make any sense?
