Hi, I have a vented central heating system with large water tank & smaller F&E tank in the attic.
The water level in the F&E tank rises until it dribbles out of the overflow pipe into the garden.
I have read the FAQ section & am working through the list.
I have changed the ballcock & replaced it with a fluidmaster one yesterday, but today, the water level has risen again overnight. The vent pipe does not seem to be dripping. I left a jug under it and not much water collected.
I turned off the stopcock to both the F&E tank/water tank & ran a bath & the level in the F&E tank actually rose slightly above the overflow pipe!
Does this indicate a cylinder coil leaking? Hot water cylinder was replaced about 5 years ago.
Or blocked pipework? a check with a magnet is mentioned. WHat is this?
ANy help gratefully received.
