Is a laddomat needed if no storage is planned?

[hdivr]

Does one need to have a laddomat if they aren't utilizing storage? Is the laddomat really necessary for the atmos or eko to work effectively? Thanks.

Getting ready to purchase either an atmos or eko and trying to get a list of necessary accesories.

It would be great if you could post your list when it is done.

Yes since you may have the situation where your zone's are returning water below 140 at some point during normal operation. Whether or not you have storage you should have a mixing valve of some sort installed to insure water going into your boiler is at the required minimum temperature...

Every system is different, but a mixing valve of some sort can help greatly to make for more comfortable heat.
