Hiya. I have a house that was built in the 50's and it has 2 cisterns situated in a cupboard in the spare bedroom. One is the normal black plastic one that you would find in the loft space. This is leaking from the ball cock valve and is full of water and the one i wish to repair. The other is an Asbestos compound tank that is huge. This tank is used for the supply of hot water throughout the house. This drains and refils normally and also has a working ball cock valve. The problem i have is that i dont know how to drain off the black normal tank that is overflowing, as i dont know where it supplies. Both tanks have pipes going to the cylinder that is situated underneath. Hot water, however, is heated via a boiler downstairs.
Does anyone know about this type of system and why i would need 2 tanks. Id like to repair the leaking ball valve.
Many thanks.
Meddy
