I am looking at fitting 2 hot water cylinders on one system.

The existing HW cylinder is in the airing cupboard adjacent to the bathroom but 6 metres from the kitchen sink. (its a bungalow).

I am shortly having an extension built which will put the kitchen sink another 3 metres away from the cylinder. To avoid the water waste running off the cold at the sink I am considering fitting a second cylinder/header tank at the kitchen end.

There is plenty of capacity in the boiler as it is an 80,000 BTU Stanley cooker boiler running just 4 rads. I am intending to run the HE coils in parallel with a cylinder stat controlling the feed to the second cylinder.

Can anyone forsee any problems?

why not just install a secondary return loop to existing cylinder
