I'm thinking of having a new condensing boiler fitted
it would most likely go in the bathroom (if not physically accessible from the bathroom then sited in the bathroom but accessible from the kitchen)
i would like the hot water tank close to avoid long pipe runs to the current tank location
i understand that if the tank isn't higher than the boiler then it won't thermosyphon and will need pumping
if i get the new boiler mounted low and the new tank (or moved tank) mounted high, but on the same floor, can i avoid the use of a pump and still rely on thermosyphon?
my thoughts are that any height difference will be enough and that there shouldn't be any reason for a boiler to be sited on the floor?
am i wrong?
