Buderus ST-150 indirect water tank raise up off floor in basement?

researchittodeath

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 it off the floor or am I being paranoid?  Thanks!

Can't hurt....

I always put something under all my work whether its a boiler or a water heater. I actually have a set of cinder blocks and patio blocks under my boiler.
