Make your system a modification of what hotels, hospitals, etc. use
They have a pump that circulates hot water in a closed loop past every
room. It returns to the inlet of the hotwater heater, and there is a
one way check valve between that connection and the cold supply so the
return water water can only go to the heater. The pump on their
systems run all the time, but you could put a second check valve in
yours to prevent water from flowing backward in the system when the pump
wasn't running.
