[QUOTE="kme, post: 265500, member: 113"] Couple of thoughts: The thermal store is designed to stay within certain temperature levels permanently - I`d be giving the primary from the boiler a perm. feed, with the thermostat as SL says. The next bit isn`t so much of an issue unless you have a solid fuel appliance - but the tank has a max temp. that musn`t be exceeded, hence the heat dump. The first one of these I did, I also wired a pump override to the upstairs rads, in order to dump excessive heat when the wood burner was on........ Then had to go back, and fit a large radiator on the outside wall of the house, to use as a dump - the system was SO efficient that, if you used internal rads, the customer thought you were trying to cook `em alive. Mind, that one also had solar thermal feeding the store, too - no wonder the plumbit took one look, and `phoned for assistance!! I wouldn`t use a standard timer circuit for the store though - to come back to your query - the whole premise behind a thermal store is that it is permanently at operating temp. KME [/QUOTE]
