I think I may need to change some settings to make savings. I have hot water peak on every day. Does anyone know often should it be on to comply with legionella regulations? It is a holiday cottage.
We decided to live in the cottage for a week or two to see why the pump is on so often. It hasn't always been like this. The setting of room temperature is currently on 19.5. it is on 24 hrs a day. We heard the pump come on during the night.
The pump is a Greenline IVT.
Where else can I check to see that my settings are correct?
Temp increase/ decrease is on 5
Temp fine tune is on 0
Heat curve adj is
Out 20° Curve 20°
Out 15° Curve 24°Heat curve just 2°
