Hello
I am just adding a zone valve to my ancient gravity fed HW circuit and I was wondering why I shouldn't also add a pump in that circuit too to make sort of a pumped C plan circuit.
I could go the whole hog and convert to S plan but the two circuits currently exit the boiler on different sides so not easy from a pipework perspective. Is there a reason why I shouldn't add an extra pump on the HW circuit to achieve full 'S-plan' functionality? i.e. pumped HW and CH independent.
I assume if I do this then the zone valve on the HW should go after the pump rather than on the return side?
I can add a picture if the description above doesn't make any sense.
Thanks in advance
Richard
