So perhaps the solution is to not actually seal the system.
If, it were not actually sealed, but instead towards the top there was a holding tank with room left for water levels to rise an fall based on changes in pressure that would alleviate the question of pressure building. It also
should not interfere with the current I am trying to establish as the density changes in the water will still work the same way in either an open or closed system. As long as we give the heated water a way to move to a higher position, and ensure that once at that higher position the water is able to cool and move to a lower position that will then feed the heating assembly shouldn't the current develop?
