myson B34-1 towel warmer

Steve_210

we are doing a townhouse using a budarus GB162-80 with WM indirect.

the architect wants to add a towel warmer (myson B34-1). he suggests taking it off the domestic hot water recirculation, which concerns me. He forwarded me installation instructions and Myson do show a diagram comming off the domestic recirculation with monoflo tees. 

Questions; The Buderus only run's the recirculating pump for 3 minutes every hour - would this keep it warm enough? (We do have other heat, it is only to keep the towels warm).

2) Does the Myson have any corrosive material? (concerned about rotting towel rail or dirty hot water).

3) I could always use an aquastat on the DHWR to keep the towel rail warm. I just would like to know if many people have done this. I could also come off the heating water supply and return to the indirect but it would be alot more work.

another concern

(off the domestic)

if someone turned off the towl rail for say 1 month. when its turned on again the stanagant water would be used for showers!!!!!

Open system for TBW

The TBW will corrode on an open system.

myson say its ok but we have never done it before.

what does ....

your gut say?  If it does not seem right to you don't do it. Just because a Mfg. says it OK does not mean it is so....lots of examples of that.  You are the one who is sticking your neck out. if the architect wants to sight off on it get it in writing... kpc
