My cold water tank in the attic seemed fine until quite recently. Every now and then (it seems random, perhaps once every week or fortnight) the overflow pipe flushes water into my back garden for about a minute. It comes out with quite a flush (i.e. not dripping, but flowing out at a rate of knots). Then it stops and all's fine. I've found similar entries on this forum re: stopcock valves, but surely that'd drip constantly if it were the problem? Also, I've found entries re: the immersion tank coil leaking - but again, surely that'd be the case the whole time wouldn't it? I have the central heating also heat the tank (one, the other or both depending on the electrically controlled valve).
Any ideas, as I got soaked sitting in the garden the other day and the inlaws are due round soon and don't wanna soak 'em (well - kind of don't want to )
Please help ...
