Hi,
I have an ultimate, oil fired, cast iron, with two heating zones and one zone for domestic hot water.
During the day, we, like many families, are out of the house, for some time . During this time, obviously, the domestic hot water is being kept at the temp set by the aquastat . I see it as a bit of a waste, if there are options to have it shut down.
I placed a recording device near the Boiler area and came to understand that the domestic water uses the system for 35 minutes of run time, each day, during the hours that there's no one at home. . (This was during summer-time, no heating was needed).
Which leads me to:
Is there an option, to add a switch (or any on/off mechanism), into my system ? Which, will completely disable the domestic hot water system, and will enable it only when set to "on" ? I do not mind flipping such a switch twice a day, if it enables to to achieve my goal, of not having the domestic water being kept to high temp, while no one needs it.
Thank you
