Hi ron the c plan is normally used to upgrade standard gravity systems by allowing hot water and central heating to be controlled seperately, if you fitted the 6 wire zone valve you will have complete control over the hw/ch, the pump just speeds up the recovery of the hot water cylinder (in your case you need the pump because your changing the cylinder),
the ch pump is switched on by the room stat and the hw pump is switched on by the cylinder stat, there are no back feed issues, the boiler is controlled by the zone valve depending on which stat is calling, I will try and find an explanation of how the zone valve works.
