Hi all, I've now had an overflow fitted to the F&E tank & it Tee's into the CWST overflow. The tank was also emptied & cleaned out & inhibitor added. The heating engineer/plumber said the state of the water in it wasn't too awful, it was just murky but nothing worrying in it. Thanks for all...

Thanks for your input guys. Noted what you say about possibly lowering the height of the tank & then giving it a dedicated overflow. It looks like Fernox F1 has been introduced into it in the past & I did read somewhere on these forums that lots of people experience the appearance of muck after...
