    Buderus ST-150 indirect water tank install: Raise up off floor in basement?

    Hi. 
    I'm having a Buderus ST-150 indirect water tanker heater hooked up to my
    Buderus GB142 boiler next week in my basement.  Should I have them raise
    it off the floor by setting it on blocks or something? 

    I like the idea about having air flow under the tank to minimize the potential for rusting, etc
    plus if the basement ever gets a tiny bit of water, hopefully it won't hurt
    it.  Anyone agree with raising this water tank off the floor or am I being
    paranoid?  Thanks!

    I wouldn't install

    a furnace, boiler, or water tank without putting it up on blocks. 2" patio blocks will do the trick. 4 of them I might add
