Hi experts
When the central heating is on, the vent pipe constantly expels hot water into the top of the expansion tank in the attic. The water level maintains an equlibrium in the tank so I've been leaving it as it is. However, the situation needs sorting pretty quick as the condensation is causing a problem in the attic.
The hot water is a seperate system (I think). It's a big copper thing in a Tea crate in the hall cupboard so I've ruled that out.
other symptoms include corroded and leaking radiators, and the occasional howl of anguish from the pump/thermostat/boiler bit.
I've bled the pump and the radiators and released some water from the system on the bottom of one of the radiators.
However, the constant flow of hot water form the vent pipe into the expansion tank continues whenever the central heating is on.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Jon
