I want to install a new cold water header tank in the loft (the old one is the original asbestos cement one). I'm going to build a frame so it's sat nice and high and will give good hot water pressure.
Now I understand the accepted wisdom to be that you insulate your header tank, but not underneath it, so some heat from the house will rise up through the ceiling and keep the water in the tank from freezing.
What on earth do you do if you have the tank raised? Just lag the whole thing about three times as much as normal and hope for the best?
Thanks.
