Hi All,
Noticed that my central heating header tank over flow pipes was dripping water, so emptied a little water from it and adjusted the ball valve and all looked as though it was closing off fine.
However, since then I've noticed that the reason this head is overfilling is not due to the valve but due to the expansion pipe that empties into it.
We haven't had the heating on for ages but understand that if the boiler kettles, it will expand the into this header tank.
My thoughts are that I just need to turn down the boiler heater setting (Potterton Suprima) to stop it over heating the water.
Correct? or other things to consider?
Thanks
