Why do I have two header tanks? Well, I know the obvious answer.One heads the central heating and one is the cold water store forthe hot water cylinder. But... must I have two seperate tanks? CanI use the same single tank as cold water storage and CH header?My existing CH header tank sits very visibly on my attic bedroomwall, whereas the cold water storage tank is within the loft space.The cold water tank is about three feet higher than the highestradiator, about 12 feet above the hot water cylinder and about25 feet above the boiler. Can I get rid of the CH header tank andsupply the header feed to the CH from the cold water storage tank?Ta.JGH -

The CH circuit isn't (well, shouldn't be!) plain water - it has inhibitor and stuff in it, so it's not compatible with the cold water circuit.cheers,cive
