4 bed detached, 130m2. Currently in the process of buying.
At present it has a 20 year old system boiler, header tank and store (airing cupboard).
It has a Salamander pump for water pressure which grinds my gonads.
In anticipation of moving in, I’m rethinking my options. My idea is;
OpenTherm system boiler relocated from kitchen to loft, and adding a megaflow/UC, for pressure.
I’m assuming a Megaflow/UC, would negate the storage tank in the airing cupboard and also the Salamander and as such, remove the noise of said pump?
In and ideal world ALL of this kit would live in the loft. Are there any issues in doing this??
Talking through with friends, a few have expressed concerns about the loft location. Mainly due to the ‘pump’ in the boiler not having enough oooomph to heat Radiators downstairs. Apparently the boiler pumps aren’t really design to pump downwards?
Valid theory?
Any other caveats to consider? Other than freezing condenser pipe worries...???
