Hi,
My CH system is made up of 3 or 4 radio controllers. Each controller is responsible for a manifold & pump with attached number of UFH zones and radio operated room thermostats. I just found out that the flow pipe into the hot water tank (megaflo) starts to cool down rapidly when one of the controllers begins do circulate and demanding heat. When this is happening if I then turn off the mains to this controller the flow pipe (inlet) to the megaflow immediately gets hot again.
Seems like this problem was waiting to happen and just appeared after we had the first few cold nights.
In my mind this is some 'control' related issue. Is there a process by which I can shut everything down and bring it back up again so that controller(s) may operate without affecting the hot water?? BTW the UFH system is Uponor, if that matters.
Sounds familiar? Any ideas?
Thanks!
