This is an "overflow" tank. The heated water does not go to taps but to the central heating and I think the coil in the hot water cylinder that serves the taps. We have a 290L tank for hot water to taps and a 490L tank that is an overflow of hot water. I cannot see us ever heating this 490L particularly if there is no feed to it

It is a complicated, poorly installed and poorly designed system. We intend to remove the tank that has 3 pipes to it, even if a 4th is found we will remove the tank, pump and motorised valves.
I will post an update once the manufacturer responds.
Oh buyer beware!
