Sorry guys been a while work went crazy when i got back, so the verdict was great 👍🏻 the heat transfer compound made a massive difference to the hot water tank allowing the full surface area to transfer the heat through the heat exchanger I made. It run great but I was still loosing a very small amount of coolant / glycol from the system and managed to narrow it down eventually to a bad push fit elbow. Luckily I had a few spares for just in case and swiped it over after draining the system just enough to swop it. The heating was brilliant and now the whole system has 22mm plastic pipes and push fit elbow and fittings.
Because the hot water relies on the hot water rising through the heat exchanger from the main tank I had a spare 12v circulation pump from a Webasco heater I have, so now I can switch the pump on and it ensures a circulation round the heat exchanger and the heater water jacket👍🏻
I believe I’ve saved myself a lot of money even though it’s a old system it’s now brand new except for the controls
