Hi,
Back home from a 3 day break to see the cylinder header tank outlet pipe dripping at approx 2 drops per second over the front door canopy.
This has happened before and previuosly, I replaced the float valve and attended to the replacement once more. However, thinking that they were leaking, just ran the water off and gave it a clean the second or third time. I cannot remember if I ever confirmed a leak but on reflection I would guess that they have all occurred following days of absence from home.
I was going to toddle off and buy another float valve but did some research here where I noticed a comment on mixer valves leaking cold into the hot, causing the header to overflow and I thought this could be my issue as we now have 4 mixer taps.
I was hoping to fit just one non return valve to the hot tank outlet and wondered if that would work as the leak seems to be quite low (drips)? Does this sound a good idea?
