If the octo is used with low return temperatures (e.g. only underfloor heating) and without a solar system, SOLARFOCUS recommends also installing a circulation pump between the upper and lower area of the tank. This allows for considerably better use of the entire buffer tank volume and reduces the start/stop intervals.
