Right, where to start? Photos can be provided tomorrow, but until then:
The actual bend is about a foot above the current, reduced water level, curving up over the edge of the tank and then back down again along the side of the tank.
The whole gubbins is in the loft about 2m above the pump and the same distance away on the flat, but the two feed pipes join the rest of them just above the pump in the airing cupboard on the 2nd floor landing, right next to the hot water cylinder.
Flow/suction - I have no idea which side they are...maybe the photo will confirm one way ot t'other.
The previous plumber used a non-power chemical to clean the system when he put in an new radiator late last year, but there is no sediment in the bottom of the tank, only a rusty tinge to the plastic. The water in the F&E tank is otherwise completely clear.
Photos will follow, many thanks for the offer of a full diagnosis.
