Thanks Bernard, Very elegant solution. Would that need additional wiring between the stat on the last tap and the pump? If so, that might not be an option - all walls, floors and ceilings are now fully finished.

Hi all, Seeking your opinions to clear up disagreement between plumber and electrician regarding which live to use for a secondary pump. I've got a system boiler with hot water cylinder, underfloor heating and radiators so three zone valves. The secondary pump keeps hot water flowing round a...
