Hello!
I'll start.
Heated area 200m2 (2,153 sq ft)
KfW 55 standard
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
Current outdoor temperature 6°C (43°F)
Heating energy consumption including hot water 35 kWh
Electricity consumption 9 kWh
COP 3.88

I think Alessandro is right: If the circulation pump is off, you end up with a long pipe full of stagnant water. And more important than high temperature is high flow rate.That is unfortunately incorrect! High flow rate only helps if the water is actually flowing out. Circulating in a loop creates risk rather than benefit!D

Yes. Okay. But leaving it standing in the pipe is not a good idea either...However, just circulating the water in the closed loop will not kill Legionella as long as it remains within the same closed system.D
Deliverer2 Nov 2021 11:27No, of course not. Although with sufficient speed, friction heat will of course be generated... ;-)
KingJulien2 Nov 2021 11:38Are you suggesting that having no circulation at all is more hygienic than occasionally running the water?
For reasons of efficiency and the "don’t-need-it" principle, I would happily do without it entirely.
