Buffer tank bypass on EDF Ideal heat pump installation
I have an Ideal Logic Air installed through EDF heat pumps. They insisted on having a buffer tank and CH pump. I argued against and we came to a compromise - by installing a bypass on the buffer (on the flow and return sides). The pump does not have a bypass. Does anyone have recommendations on how best to set this up? I could bypass it completely, have the hot water bypass it, have the return bypass it. Also can I keep the pump running or unplug it (easy to do)?
incidentally the efficiency as stated on the control box is awful SCOP 1.7. But it doesn’t seem particularly expensive and the house is warm. When I called Ideal support they told me not to trust it!
