    Hi all, just wondering where is the best location for a thermostat. It is just the simple kind with a spring that goes around a pipe to turn pump on/off on an open system for BB/stove. Is it best upstairs right beside hot water cylinder or downstairs close to BB/stove. Thanks in advance.

    On the flow pipe from the stove & close to the stove. The closer to the stove the higher the temperature the stat can be set to.

    What temp should it be set too? Mine is right where you say it should be, it's currently at 55 degrees

    Generally 55-65 is fine. The higher the stat ( within reason ), the hotter the water in your cyclinder

    Yes 55C is spot on.
