I have a central heating with storage tank system. I woke this morning to what sounded like running water, although no taps were turned on.
I went to my boiler room in the basement and the pressure valve was reading 10 psi and water was running out via the pressure release valve outlet. I turned off the hot water supply to the upstairs bathroom and the running water sound stopped. I then went up stairs and ran the mixer tap for the sink and although the hot water supply was turned off I was getting water from the hot side but this turned out to be cold water.
I have a failed thermostatic valve (3 months) on my bath mixer tap, and I am wondering if this has suddenly caused a crossover problem.
Please anyone know if this is the case or has other suggestions as to what may have caused the problem. Thanks in anticipation.
Andrew.
