hi
just a thought after my fun this week (and last) trying to fix my heating system...
i'm wondering whether to untie the ballcock or leave it tied up?
my reasoning being;
without leaks surely the system doesn't really lose any volume so doesn't require 'topping up' from the tank?
the tank is half full anyway allowing for a little top-up if the system draws on it.
my thinking being if you have a major leak on the circuit you're only going to have a loss of what's in the pipework + the half tank?
whereas with it being permanently fed you're risking the mother of all floods??
just a thought...please let me know if i'm barking up the wrong tree because i am a novice and had no idea how it all works until these last few days
thanks
