[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 265396, member: 250"] Did one similar.. but with a couple of extra bits i.e. a separate circuit for some towel radiators and a wood burner as well as an oil fired boiler to heat the cylinder... Heres what we had:- Cylinder thermostat NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE CYLINDER to keep the closed cylinder loop constantly hot in case of need for hot water. FCU to boiler via stat to fire boiler & pump. Didn't bother with any hot water control from the programmer. Just use the FCU. Under floor heating from room thermostats to manifold zones and heating pump, circulates a second closed loop drawing heat from another coil inside the cylinder. { So if the heating loop is cold, the cylinder will also be cold and thus fire the boiler from the cylinder thermostat. } This house also had a wood burner direct into the main cylinder (same water circuit as the oil boiler)... If the cylinder got too hot due to non-controlled wood burner, a second thermostat NEAR THE TOP OF THE CYLINDER.. turned on another pump to dump heat to the towel radiators fed directly off the cylinder.. We used a 'Hot water On' program option to manually turn on the towel radiator pump if required to control the towel radiators independently of UF heating or wood burner heat dump. As you say it is not hard system to wire... But some electricians cannot think outside of "standard instructions" :C [/QUOTE]
