What is the small tank in the loft - is it for the boiler?

[David Stanley]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum but have been lurking for a while. We are looking to buy a house that we need to modernise. It has a Sanitae Megaflo water tank and no tanks in the loft so I assume those are pressurised (unvented)?

There is a Worcester Bosch boiler but I don't see any pressure tanks and I see a small tank up in the loft. Does that mean the boiler is likely "vented" and if so how easy would it be to make it unvented so we could remove the tank and pipes from the loft?

Thanks and regards,

David

What model of boiler do you have ?

I don't know yet as I haven't exchanged yet. It looks to be a relatively recent model going on the pipework but there was no model number .

Cheers,

David

I am confused as I can see the old water tanks have been disconnected and left in the loft and there is a megaflow (which I assume to be unvented) yet there looks to be a small header tank up in the loft. It looks way too small to be a replacement for the old water tanks which are huge.

I think most recent w/bosch boilers can be sealed but you need the model to be sure.

Thanks - presumably that will be in the front cover/ on the interior?

Yes or data label on the bottom of the boiler.

It is possible that the small tank is disconnected and was just never removed
