Hi I have an issue, I have a system boiler downstairs with a hot water cylinder directly above it upstairs and then the hot water cylinder is connected to a cold water tank in the loft.
I have a stop cock tap in the front of my house under a flap, another stop cock under the kitchen tap.
I then have 2 red gate valve taps next to my hot water cylinder which look like this:
In case of a emergency leak in the house be it in bathroom or kitchen I wish to know how to turn off all the water in my house.
So I turned the 2 gate valve red taps off first (clockwise), turned both stop cock taps (outside and under kitchen sink) to off, ran all the cold/hot taps in the house for about 15-20 minutes till it ran dry.
Then went to check a slightly leaking hot water tap isolator valve under the kitchen sink and noticed its still coming out with plenty hot water, do I have to drain off the water in the hot water cylinder or loft tank or something else I done wrong?
