I need a new boiler, but it turns out my header tank is fed from the water softener and, as usual, there is no viable way to get a hard water feed up to the loft.
However...
My main feed comes into the utility room and splits, one side goes to the water softener, and one side goes to the drinking tap in the kitchen. Someone suggested swapping to a sealed system as the boiler is also in the utility room so I can easily connect it to the main feed (I believe this is a sealed system) and is compatible with my megaflow?
Now this is where I got confused, one person said I would also need an expansion vessel in-line, whilst another person said certain Bosch/Worcester had everything they needed internally, so it was just a case of directly connecting the main feed in.
I don't really have space for an external expansion vessel so happy to go for a slightly different boiler, if they do actually exist?
