I want to add circulation to one heat dump radiator very near to cylinder on a vented system. Its supposed to Gravity Circulate but it would have to be higher than the cylinder (3 foot) on the landing to do it naturally!

I have a Grundfos circulator but fear this will just cause "pumping over" if too close to cylinder and F&E pipework (adding too much pressure)

The idea was to Gently move the heated water mechanically from rad branch (stove back boiler) through the rad without causing flows into F&E tank in loft!

Is there anything more gentle to circulate than a pump set its lowest??

Cheers

PS. I love sealed systems!
