@allyfish Not to de-rail this topic (so I'll probably post results - if any - on a new topic) but I've just started trialling a scheduled 2°C drop of ...

You've possibly had a pressure issue, which could be the hissing sound, or maybe there's been a slow leak on the secondary return valve that's now got...
For adjusting the overall system I'd leave everything open - you want to adjust things for when there's full demand on the system. Use TRVs to reduce ...
