Hi,
a quick question. What do you usually do when you are away on a longer vacation? Do you turn off the heating completely? I’m mainly asking in terms of hot water supply. At this time of year, the heating is usually off anyway. But the hot water system keeps running, whether it’s powered by a heat pump, gas, or solely solar. The pumps keep running, which seems pointless when no one is home. And heating water for nobody... I don’t see the reason.
So my question is: what do you do when you go on vacation?

Hi,
I wasn’t asking if there is a summer program, but whether you actually use the option to turn off the domestic hot water system during longer periods of absence. If so, why? If not, why not?
It is known that this option exists. In summer mode, hot water still runs. So the system would need to be put on standby. For our system, that would mean completely off, with only frost protection active. My question is: do you make use of this feature?
@Casper: The anti-legionella function is a setting. For example, it is disabled in our system because we always heat the hot water above 60°C (140°F). In summer, with solar support, even up to 82°C (180°F). The anti-legionella function simply heats the water to at least 60°C (140°F).

And if necessary, switches back to frost protection.
We don’t have a summer program. We have a vacation mode. The "summer program" is the external sensor.

To be specific again. Without the cat, I would have also turned off the hot water. But since someone takes care of the cat daily, I mostly just turn the hot water down so that at least some warm water is available if needed.Does the cat need warm water for bathing?
