Megaflo Dripping Valve

[caparn]

Are you supposed to have an annual service of your water tank?
How much does a service cost?

Thanks for the advice, worked like a treat

I had the same issue on my 2-year old system and had resigned myself to a costly repair...until I read this thread. The fix was so simple:

1. Turn the valve off above the leaking part (this is the mains inlet).
2. Turn on a hot water tap in your house - this releases the pressure. Only a little water will come out before it stops.
3. Unscrew the centre section of the valve (you'll need a big spanner/mole wrench). It comes out very easily.
4. Wash it under a tap (cold obviously as you've turned the hot off!).
5. Replace carefully. I tightened mine up a bit more than it had been previously.
6. Open the valve you shut in Step 1 and turn off the hot water tap.

Job done. literally took 3 minutes. This may not work for all dripping faults to this part but it did the trick for mine.
