Hi All - Is is possible to have the radiators pressurised from a
rising main filling loop if the hot water cyclinder is of the Primatic
type. At the moment both the hot water and radiators seemed to be
filled from the hot water cyclinder via a single cold water tank.

No. You will need to replace the cylinder with a standard indirect type, and
supply a header/cold storage tank just for the (secondary) domestic hot
water circuit.

The only other solution would be to disconnect the cylinder from the primary
circuit (and blank off the connections) and heat the DHW with an immersion
heater rather than with the boiler. I don't imagine you'd want to do that!

No, not at all.

That is how they work. You have to replace the primatic with a normal
indirect cylinder. Then the CH circuit can be pressurised from the mains.
The boiler has to be suitable for pressurisation and use a pressurisation
kit of: vessel, high pressure relief valve, filling loop, pressure gauge.
Get a quick recovery coil cylinder.
