Any experience?

Screwfix offer a raft of towel rails, some of which claim dual fuel
function.

With wet underfloor heating there is a plan to use electric towel rails
(timer controlled). Tempting to route the floor heating return pipe
through a modest sized rail and save the electricity during the winter
months.



Why not put the towel rads on their own zone?


Hmm.. Lots of extra piping as two rads are at the ends of the house.
Might need to steal a manifold outlet as the system is ordered. Hmm..



Wouldn't it be better to put it on the flow side rather than the return?
It'll be a very tepid radiator otherwise I would have thought.
