Hi,
I have domestic water based UFH - 20 years old. House is 100 years old with 5 beds. UFH everywhere.
Works okay but perhaps could be better. Top of house is coldest.
I have newish worcester boiler(Greenstar 8000 life).
System is on 4 different storeys, 5 manifolds and perhaps 18 loops.
There IS a pump beside the boiler on the ground floor.
I am wondering;
(a) Do I need more that one pump?
(b) Should I have a thermometer at each manifold (I often end up putting my hand on the pipe trying to judge the heat level).
(c) Should I have some method of measuring the flow
(d) Gas prices are high (!) - Should I put UFH on - 24 hours per day Or would 12 do?
(e) Should I have system serviced?
(f) Should I replace manifolds parts?
Thanks all!
PS: The image is not my actual manifold but very similar
