Are you worried about heat or rust? Most water boilers are designed to tolerate damp, humid basements or other conditions. You may get a little surface rust, but I strongly doubt you would ever rust through a tank. If you get worried about rust, you can sand down the rust with a little steel wool and spray a little rustoleum paint on the affected area. What i would worry about is excess heat buildup. Closets are bad enough, often little to no ventilation. But with a heat source inside, in addition to your lights, you are pushing it. Make sure you design some sort of ventilation system. Heat from the lights was going to be a problem anyway, so boiler or not, you are going to need ventilation. Make sure that you design your room such that it is easy to access the water boiler for service. If you need to get a plumber in there at 3am on a Sunday morning (when all plumbing fails), you are going to appreciate a little forethought. Have fun with the new room.

I agree with Rob, but I would sand down any rust that you get and apply
POR-15. I use it all the time and it works really well. http://por15store.com |

Is your water heater gas or electric, if it is a gas waterheater you
need to be careful of the fumes because some orchids don't like them. Jack |
