Good morning guys,
Am writing this a bit red faced -thanks for your replies and of course you are right and I was barking up the wrong tree. I'd thought that the TWT sensor would measure the water temperature so without water..... Thanks to your explanation I now understand that it's just measuring the temperaure at it's location which might look like return or flow temperature but is neither - it's just the ambient temperature at its location, which will be TWT when the boiler is supplying HW.
Have edited previous post to say it's wrong.
Thanks again for your time and input.
Regards Michael
