Hi All
I am a new member and this is my first post. I have been doing DIY for some 50 years, but I find this one a total mystery:
My WC (mains water) inlet keeps running, but slowly. I have replaced the valve but still it doe not shut off.
To save wasting water I turned the maintenance valve off until I could investigate further. When I returned an hour or so later the cistern was empty. No leaks found. I allowed the cistern to fill again and added some blue dye to the water. The cistern emptied itself again, and then I looked for blue water. None seen.
This blue water has disappeared, nothing in the pan, nothing in the manhole outside. The old original overflow pipe is capped off in side the cistern.
Can anyone help please.
Geoff.
