Pumped hot water loop alternative

Thanks all for the responses so far, it's good to see so many good ideas

I think we have:

trojanhaws - Second fill valve in the cistern - I like this idea because it is in effect a timer so that you would always get x seconds of water from the hot pipe

Harry Bloomfield - PIR to start the hot water flow when you walk in the room, so would be hot before you finished

Daveydub - TMV set to low temperature so it will draw from the hot until it reaches temperature, then mainly use the cold

StephenStephen and Harry Bloomfield - leave the cistern empty and only fill it when someone enters the room triggered by PIR. Interesting option and I guess you could just open the valve for a couple of minutes and it should be full for the flush then

Me - Thermal switch and 3-port valve to switch between hot pipe and cold pipe

Nige F - Cold water - yes, that's what we do now, but I want to make it better. Can you still buy carbolic soap?

I'm away for a few weeks unfortunately, but I'm favouring Daveydub's idea to try first. Easiest to try in my case and no electrics!

Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted
