Hot water cylinder, bungalow loft??

[JohnJeff]

Hi

I have just purchased a bungalow in an area with no gas, it has electric storage heaters. I would like to put a hot water cylinder in the loft (currently in the hall) with header tank above but am being given conflicting advice. The hot water will serve bathroom with mixer shower and bath, kitchen. The ceiling height is 2.9m and the highest I can get the bottom of the cold water tank is 0.9m above the ceiling.
Can anyone advise on feasibility, pipe sizes etc.
Any advice much appreciated.

Seach for the "ecocent" hot water cylinder, i'm not allowed to put a link to it but it will be the cheapest way for you to heat hot water. It can be unvented or vented and has a heat pump built in so you extract heat from bathroom after showering or bathing or the loft and put it back into the hot water. Best thing since sliced bread

having said that, if the cylinder wasnt vented above once filled even if above wouldnt the water stay in under atmospheric pressure? not that it would work as it needs to be vented but once filled im sure it would work

You've lost me here!
