Back "in the old days" a metal tank in the garage was quite common.

Father in Law has such a set up which has been there 'for ever' AFAIK

I'm sure he doesn't switch off anything when he switches from one tank to the other but if OP is worried, just turn off for a short while.

I just spoke to my F i L - he has two tanks around 800L each (?) He tries to run one tank down to near empty with the other one turned off.

When he's ready to swap over he simply turns off the boiler, turns off the tap of the near empty tank, opens the tap of the full tank and turns the boiler back on.

Simple

He has a brother called Robert so as I often say to Mrs B .... "Bob's your uncle"
