First post - I need help! The more I read the more confused I get. 
Trying to work out how to integrate my new ufh system into the existing central heating system.
I have a Std open vented baxi boiler, situated in garage, with manifold to be sited approx 2m away. The existing heating system is a Y plan type with the pump, mid pos valve and cylinder situated upstairs in the airing cupboard. The pump is below the mpv.
What I know (or think I know):
- I need to swap the mpv to an S type layout, using 2 zone valves.
- I am going to add a new boiler as well, possibly a system type?
Questions:
How do I re-arrange my system to allow the ufh manifold to work independently of the dhw and rads?
Do I need to move the pump to before the 22mm pipes T off for the manifold (this would be achieved by adding a system boiler?)?
Do I need a third zone valve for the ufh?
Help would be appreciated. I have been given differing advice from a couple of plumbers.......
