All understood. Basically you are planning on creating a recirculating loop. There are a couple of threads running about this with people complaini...
The last bit of that is bad. Thats just badly (well appallingly) designed UFH and most likely the fundamental problem here - half your energy is goin...
Unfortunately COP for DHW will always be lower because it requires a higher flow temp and thats how the thermodynamics work. 52C is high however, you...
Er not sure that is universally true. Mine is cheaper overall to run that my gas boiler would have been, by about 20% or thereabouts. I have radiato...

Don't forget to increase max ft also. Mine is set to 55, way clear of the curve. I think that might even have been the default.
Suggest, as a test, you turn up the WC curve a lot so any change or not is unambiguous. I'd also set max ft to say 55 to get this parameter out of th...
