Your reasoning behind this ?

Can you explain why it's not good practice and I can't see why a permanent live should be a problem.

It's a pellet boiler that's a self contained unit. Works on the returning water temp as rads shut down the returning water gets hotter so less heat is produced by the boiler until it shuts down, when returning water cools it starts up again.

I was thinking something like this:

It's not ,reasoning behind the question can it be done?

RM Cylinders dual thermostat can it be wired to operate as a on and off for a zone valve with out any connection to the programmer/control of the boiler ? If yes how would it need to be wired?

My thinking on the system: Heat dump radiator in the loft space. Pressure relief valve to the outside. Header take to replace and loss to the system and dump for any over heated water. Heat coil to supply hot water. Some valve set-up to send all heated water when thermal store is at...

Morning Guys, Thanks for the input so far: So folks know where I'm coming from with this, the house is rural and isolated no gas - electric is unreliable oil far to expensive, wood is the only real option. Gas/oil would be so much easier. Things I want to archive: Winter Time: Heating that...

As I have said in my first post: It is a very rural and isolated no gas - electric is unreliable oil far to expensive, wood is the only real option. If you know of a better way round this please or explain how I can make this work.

ianmcd - Could you be a little more constructive an maybe try to input something a little more positive. You may or may not have a vast knowledge on all things heating, where as I have very little and trying to understand what seems to be a very complicated system to me.

I'm looking (hoping) the store will supply mains pressure hot water from one of the coils- if my understanding is correct. CJ

Yes this is the reasoning I'm here asking if anyone has been down this road and willing to share their knowledge!

Hello indigofish , Can you give an up-date on is I'm looking to go down the same road. Kind Regards CJ

I'm at a loss has to why you have posted such a unhelpful reply.... A quick google gave me this: A thermal store is a way of storing and managing renewable heat until it is needed. In a domestic setting, heated water is usually stored in a large well-insulated cylinder often called a buffer or...

Morning Guys, I'm looking to install a word-burner / central heating with thermal store as our only heating system (don't have any other cost effected options). Finding it very hard going getting reliable info on such a system, just wondering if anyone has been down this road and could share...
