I am moving my cold supply tank into the loft alongside the F & E tank.
Does the F&E tank (or free water level?) have to be higher than the cold water feed tank?

Thanks

Mike

the cold water tank water level should ideally be higher than the water level in the f e tank - so if sitting on the same level this will be the case! reason being: if the hot water tank (if used) gets holed, the dirty water is forced up into the f & e tank and out of its overflow, and not the other way around (otherwise it would contaminate your cold water in the cold water tank)!!
