Hello All,
I recently brought a house that unfortunately turns out was a bit of a plumbing mess, The three port valve has failed and the heating did not work in part of the house. I am in the process of tidying up the plumbing in the airing cupboard and changing from a three port valve system to an S plan.
I have come up with the following layout, the brown square is the existing deairator (That is what I think it is)
I plan to put all the pipe work here:
I have a couple of questions to make sure I do it correctly, there are images below to help with the questions
Thank you in advance for any advice.

I have a couple of questions to make sure I do it correctly, there are images below to help with the questions
- I would like to fit a mag filter but access to there return difficult and space around the boiler is limited as it is very close to ceiling downstairs. Can I just put it before the pump or is there somewhere better?
- The brown cylinder item I think is a deairator, can I replace it with something different/better or best to keep it as it is?
- Can I put the automatic pressure relief valve between just after the pump and onto the coil return or does it have to be after the cylinder connection on the return and before the boiler? Trying to run another pipe out of the airing cupboard may be tricking without chiseling more joist out, do building regulations allow that?
- Eventually I want to pay someone to convert to a sealed system and fit an expansion vessel where would they locate that in this pipe work? I want to leave space for them to connect it up.
- Are there any other changes you would make to the layout to protect for future?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
