I have a 500L vented cylinder in a 6 storey building. It has a secondary hot water return loop that is currently using a grundfos 15-50 pump. I don't think it's the correct size but i'm unsure because of the differences between a sizing a closed loop system (i.e a heating circuit) and an open vented hot water circuit.
If i sized it using the normal methods then i'd need a pump with at least a 15m head on it. Am i on the right track or is there a different way of calculating it for hot water circulation?
Any help is appreciated!
