I have a standard boiler that heats the hot water tank and radiators.
I have a timer which turns the radiator zone valve on at 6.00am then also turns on the hot water tank zone valve at 6.30am.
Recently I have noticed that when the hot water tank zone valve opens to heat the hot water tank, the radiators cool down to a point where they are almost cold.
When the hot water zone valve closes the radiators start to heat up again.
I realise that the hot water circulating from the boiler will take the path of least resistance but should I put some sort of valve on on the water tank circuit to restrict the flow so that all the hot water doesn't go through there?
Thanks for any replies.
