That's what I thought, but it turns out it depends on the boiler you
use.  A system boiler (like I have) apparently pressurises or needs the
heating circuit pressurised.  So you have to choose your heat source
and tank together.  Pressurised tanks have the advantage of not needing
a header tank, but some tanks come with this built into the top of
the "tank".

First step is to find a plumber who knows these systems or get yourself
skilled up.  Next time I will aim to do the plumbing myself, it has
been the most problematic, expensive and sressful part of our project.
