Wow!If I want fairly rapid increase in temps it’s £2.60/hr burn.

Yes. Made my eyes water that.Wow!
I am curious if the mega flow is a hot water tank, or a buffer for the UFH? Any ideas? It’s typical fir a sealed unit to be used as a UFH buffer in a wet system to stop the boiler firing , stopping and firing again from whet I read?You’ve also got a massive water tank to heat as well, the megaflo are pretty efficient though but will still take a chunk of change
It will reduce once you get a program running that suits your needs, it’s just getting there and finding the balance.
I don’t know anymore ! You have added more confusion to my knowledge.I’m no expert but it would be your hot water tank, the ufh would use a heat exchanger inside it to act as you have said. When the ufh calls for heat it will open the valve and signal the pump.
In true internet fashion I could be wrong and someone will be along to tell me otherwise shortly.
I just left the hot water set to constant, although maybe not the most cost effective way to do it, it was just the easiest rather than faffing with schedules etc in a busy, routine less household. It may or may not have helped with heating cost as my understanding could be wrong of how the system worked.
Exactly that.View attachment 209585
This a custom blockwork heating system?
Ok, so found out why I had two extra thermostats behind pictures!Last night I couldn’t sleep and noted that two of the UFH zones were still firing despite the thermostat being upto and in one case well over temp.
The stat was not asking for heat, but the controller was “stuck” asking for it. Strange.
I manually override the stat to the “off” position and it cut the demand from the controller. Put it back on “auto” and voila. No heat request.
Repeated on the other unit and all good at the mo. Killer but now though is once the temp in the room drops will it trigger again?
Suspect I have two duff stats tbh. Others work fine.
Spoke to the chap who did the gas service. You were correct. It’s a hot water tank. It also doubles as the hot water for the UFH! No combo , just a simple heating deviceI’m no expert but it would be your hot water tank, the ufh would use a heat exchanger inside it to act as you have said.
