that rad will never heat that size conseratory.
Hi all,
First post for me, here goes.
i've just had a radiator fitted in my conservatory, how difficult would it be to fit a small pump to circulate water through it on an "on demand basis"?
My heating system is a Potterton Suprima and a Boilermate 2000.

You say the rad is good enough for the conservatory. The problem appears that the house wall stat cuts off the house and leaves the conservatory cold, which still needs heat.
This is can be tackled simply effectively by:
1) Installing a Wilo Smart or Grundfos Alpha auto variable speed pump, in place of the existing CH pump in the BoilerMate.
2) Link out the room stat at the BoilerMate so the pump is always energised, remove it.
3) Fit thermostatic rad valves on all rads in the house.
Each room then runs independently with no centralized temperature control, so the benefits are to the whole house not just the conservatory.
This means if all the house is up to temperature and the TRVs closed down the conservatory will still have heat being pumped to the radiator. If all TRVs are closed down the Smart pump runs right down automatically so no pumping.
Smart pumps and thermals store/heat pumps area perfect match when the CH is run from the store of water.
so the pump and boiler will run 24/7
so the pump and boiler will run 24/7
No there is a timeclock. The Smart pump will run in the on periods. And it will wind up and down to suit automatically, so may be off completely when all TRVs are closed.
You need to understand more. Best not try and be a smartie, you are not that that bright as you have indicated, as just take it as read. It is easier that way. Just learn and try to understand.
