Hi I hope someone can help as I have had two plumbers come to me and do nowt but scratch their heads?
Problem is quite hard for me to explain as I am not a plumber but will give it a go-Basicly I have noticed for a while that when my hot water is on ie boiler is heating up that I was getting a good leak from my overflow outside about 1ltr an hour,so I managed to trace it to my hotwater tank where their is a pressure relief cold water 4 bar valve that is connected to the hot water tank as well as a drain one for the tank .
Yes I thought I will give it a clean and or if it still leaks get a new one tried to clean first,no it wasn't that so bought brand new valve at a cost of £48 and thought that that would be the end of it(I wish).
Leak is still there so called plumbers who said that it was a faulty valve and replaced free fo charge.Still leaks?
So I am at my wits end as it is dripping away a nice puddle on my drive everytime the hot water clicks on to heat up?
Is there overpressure of 4 bar in the back of this valve and if so how can I reduce it so that the leak stops(just before the valve is a large reducer valve of some sort from cold water mains?
Any ideas
Thanks
