I've recently fitted a Wiser control sytem to my fairly conventional oil fired cenral heating system, Y plan with mid position 3 port valve.
I've found the control provided by this sytem to be excellent. It provides individual programmable temperature control to each room using programmable rad valves and hot water via an app on my phone, and is highly recommended. But that's not the point of this post. (I have no connection with Drayton)
I'm thinking that as the Wiser system switches off the boiler when there is no call for heat, and hot water is controlled independantly, is there any need for the 3 port valve?
If and when the 3 way valve fails, I am thinking I could replace this with a single, more reliable zone valve for the hot water only, as each rad is now individually controlled by the wiser valves.
I would also add a modulating pump, to ensure that the pressure is matched to demand in the event of low demand
Have I missed anything here?
