    blocked CWSC overflow?

    Hi all, I've heard it is quite common for over flow pipes on CWSCs to block. Is this true? In which case, how and why do they get blocked? And how would you test it (ie, hold the ball valve down and force the water to overflow)? Do you routinely test the overflows when fitting a new FOV...

    Thermal Store Dripping Overflow

    Hi, We installed a combination, open vented thermal store last year. As the header tank sits on top of the main cylinder the water in the header is really quite hot. I have noticed very slight drips coming from the overflow (more on a cool day) which I think is down to condensation. It’s not...

    Wanted: Some cheap bits of PVC overflow pipe, for a DIY project! I'll buy your scrap!

    Evening all, So I'm not a plumber, but I'm trying to get my hands on some PVC overflow piping to put together into a DIY homemade Steadicam that I'm building.
