Welcome aboard!

I think that you are the first person from Macedonia on this forum.

I must admit that I do not have direct experience with drain-back systems. However, I have not heard of solar collectors failing from the stagnant phase.

I was under the impression that the drain-back cycle would kick in at night, and also protect the collectors from freezing.
