Hi
Im new to this forum.
My cold water tank is overflowing.
I know it is not the ball cock as that is fine.
The issue is that the water from the hot water cylinder is backing up into the cold water tank in the attick cauing it to over flow.
When i turn the feed from the cold water tank to the hot water cyminder off, the water goes through the expansion pipe into the cold water tank. when i open that feed, it goes through the inlet pipe of the hot water cylinder into the cold tank.
In addition to this, it over flow even if the water is cold in the HW tank
does this mean i need a new cylinder?
also, as it is sealed water system, why would more water going into the tank causing it to over flow? i dont know why water would go into the hot tank if it is full!
any help appreciated.
thanks
phil
ok, i think it is the ball cock now, Having turned the water off to the cold water tank, the leak has stopped.
does the water from the hot tank feed into the cold tank through water getting hot and expanding etc on a regular basis?
I have changed the ballcock but the same thing is happening.
The water temperature in the cold water tank is warm so definately coming from the hot water tank.
would the issue be the coil?
the query i have is, if all the hot water from the HW tank is going to the cold water tank, is the HW tank being filled up with cold. i dont know why it would over flow if they are both recycling the same water?
