Precis from earlier post.
Ted. I'm pretty sure all back boilers were finally phased out in 2020 (Hurrah).The pumps on those things are a nightmare, if you have wooden floors you can replace the pump with a decent one. There's not room in a BBU for a better pump so we put them under the floor next to the chimney breast and pipe/wire to there. Obviously the pump needs to be lower than the heat exchanger so that wont work on a concrete floor.

I've re-read this thread and the above reply from Roy, it's at times like this I wish we had wooden floors like our previous house. The Baxi BBU HE unit was chosen as we had such good service (25 plus years) from our previous Baxi Bermuda Back Boiler with a nice modernish front gas fire unit.
I hoped that this current unit fitted in 2014 would outlive us, I would like to wring another couple of years out of her if possible. Next one will most likely end up in our loft or spare rear bedroom. I'm definitely not going for a heat pump. Probably not worth looking at having a sump dug out of our solid floor even if there was space.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Baxi engineer did a temporary fix today, new sump pump, so heating is back on.
Returning next Tuesday to replace both levels switches.
K2-K6:
Couldn't the boiler be installed in raised position ..... leaving space under to facilitate a auxiliary pump installation ?
That's rather than a sump or underfloor void.
royhall:
That would raise the attached gas fire by the same amount. Not to mention the fire surround would no longer fit.

Yes, it was slightly speculative of me to suggest Roy.
Bit of background though, saw a dishwasher installed once about 18" raised from floor, enquiry found that it was for both a wheelchair user and partner with back health problems, with such a simple adaption solving a fundamental problem for both.
Just a shift in interpretation from established normal to produce such result.
I know it's not likely to be moved, or practical to do so, but would give that leeway needed now if original spec had encompassed that.
