Hive heating Vs hot water schedules

GS..

Just bought a house with pressure cylinder heating and hive set up

It's programmed for a heating AND hot water schedules
I'm wondering why it needs got water schedules if heating (which needs hot water) is already scheduled?????
Should I just delete the hot water schedule?

Hot water is what comes out your taps, it's nothing to do with the heating.

If you have a "system boiler" then this means your hot water and your heating are separate systems. They both have different timers. (you dont want the dirty water going through your heating coming out when you have a shower!!)

If you have a combi boiler then you have a heating timer only, and the water is heated "on demand" when you open the tap. This is better for flats or small homes where only one tap of hot water is needed at a time (otherwise if more taps are opened you get a significant reduction in hot water pressure as the system cant heat on demand for all the taps at adequate pressure, in simple terms)

Hope that helps
