Relocation of DHW cylinder

    We are in the process of upgrading our heating system and are considering moving our DHW cylinder from the second floor of our house to the ground floor. The system is an indirect open vented system. Based on the laws of gravity and head of water requirements can this be done without adding a booster pump to the system to keep my upper floor pressure as it is now? I have attached a crude diagram to illustrate.

    The location of the hw cylinder will have no bearing on the pressure of the outlet draw off points if they have not changed heights & the cwst has also not changed.

    Yes as long as it is installed correctly. Very few are in this country, but if installed correctly they are excellent.
