Hello all,
My F & E tank was overflowing quite a lot before Christmas so I installed a new plastic type float valve (vertical type) which stopped the problem for a week or so. I installed a good old ball type float valve & this again stopped the problem until this week when I noticed again a trickle of water from the overflow pipe outside. When checking the tank in the loft the water is warm & the float valve is almost under water, when the heating pump stops water comes from the expansion pipe for about a second or so ( I guess this is why the water is warm!) There also seems to be a lot of air in the system as lots of gurgling noises from one of the downstairs radiators most mornings, I bleed the system & then the air gets back in after a couple of days!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
