Thank you everyone for all the advice, it's very helpful and appreciated! I think from reading all the posts that a 12v pump makes the most sense.

Hello, First time posting on the forum! apologies if my question seem stupid, I i don't have a lot of knowledge regarding this kind of stuff. I would like to ask for advice about my back boiler, I have a morso squirrel with a back boiler installed, connected to a 240v pump running the water to one radiator in the bedroom, as I am in a marina, it made sense at the time to install it the way it is. However since then I have found that: 1. the electric cost is quite alot 2. and this is the big issue - there have been times when the electric tripped out and the pump stopped working. I'm scared it might happen when I'm at work and not at home to take care of it, so because of that, it's quite rare that I leave it on when I go to work. I would like to stop using and am looking for advice on what to do, I read some opinions that I should cap the pipes, drain the water and fill it with sand, and make sure not to completely seal off the pipes but leave a hole or 2 to let the air flow. I have also read horror stories about people attempting to do than and having the whole thing explode and cause damage and injuries. Thank you in advance for anyone who replies!
