Hi all. I'm new here so first of all hello.
I have a problem with my water tank. I know nothing about plumbing so please bear with me. The tank I am referring to is a large black tank that is next to a smaller tank which I assume is to do with heating. The large tank has a ball float in it.
Anyway...
Recently I boug a new hose to water the garden with. My problem starts here. I watered the garden for around 20 mins and at around 3am the next morning I was woken by dripping. I went into the loft and found that one of the overflow pipes had disconnected. I reattached it and voila.
Today I was watering again and after maybe thirt minutes I heard a lot of dripping. I went in to the loft and the large water tank was literally overflowing. It was leaking out of the top of the tank. I threw down towels and ran the cold water taps but the water level didn't go down, I ran the downstairs hot top and the level went down, I am very confused. The water tank if full of cold water by the way.
My question is, a) what is the problem and b) does my new hose have anything to do with this? This is the first time ive ever had a problem like this so it's quite coincidental,
Thanks for any help
