Hi,
I have a fairly traditional heating/hot water system were the boiler heats a circuit for the central heating and another circuit goes to a vented hot water cylinder. The only slightly unconventional thing about it is that the hot water circuit is pumped with its own pump controlled from a thermostat on the hot water cylinder.
There is a single radiator/towel rail in the bathroom, close to the hot water tank. This is currently part of the central heating system but I am interested in connecting it to the hot water circuit instead. I am interested in doing this because there is a horrendous pipe run to this bathroom radiator from another room and because I would like to be able to heat the bathroom when the central heating is not on (I grew up in a house where this was the case and I have got attached to a warm bathroom all year round). I would of course put a TRV on the radiator in the bathroom and put the radiator into the hot water ciruit in parallel with the tank.
Is this a sensible proposal? What do I need to look out for?
Cheers,
Dan
