header tank

Hi all I am just wondering which setup do plumbers/heating engineers like the best out of these 2 systems with CH header tanks in the Loft? - and is one better than the other or do they both work as good as each other , any caveats with either? *Diagrams not - no-where near - drawn to scale...

Hi This is an issue which is causing great confusion. I bought a house in September 2020 and installed a wood fired heating system with a Gledhill Torrent 210. The thermal store is in the original boiler cupboard and the header tank is in the attic. The people who installed it didn't replace...

You'll have noticed i'm playing with a thermal store, the added volume (direct not indirect) means my existing header tank won't be big enough- need about 60 litres to make the 10% I happen to have lurking in the back garden a very fetching avocado metal bath, its been waiting in the scrap pile...

I have previously isolated the feed to the header tank in the past when working on the system, rather than isolating it in the header tank itself. I just noticed after draining some water via the magnetic cleaner that the feed makes an almighty foghorn noise. The vibration is fairly extreme to...

I used to hear years ago that the UK and Ireland used to have 'seperate' hot and cold taps at the sink for a valid good reason , that it was by law (water laws) so that the water mains (cold) was seperate from the (hot water system) coming from the storage tank up in the loft. citing that the...

Good morning all. We've just moved house and noticed that the HW Cylinder Thermostat was only set to 50 deg C and the hot water didn't last for long. I've raised the temp to 60 but now we are getting really loud noises coming from the airing cupboard when the heating has been on for about 1 1/2...

Hi there, I was doing a bit of tidying in the attic like you do and I noticed a net bag dangling from the rafters into the header tank. My question is, what could it be? I presume to reduce lime scale.....as you can see from the image, it's not doing a too good a job is it? Any other idea's...

Hi, In our loft, we have two tanks - a small header tank for the central heating and a larger tank for the hot water - cold water is mains fed. The other night, we noticed that the overflow pipe from the hot water tank was dripping outside. I was looking out of the window to see how much was...

Hello all - Has anyone seen or heard of brass side entry ballcock valve for the Header Tank in the loft ,but for low pressure mains water, or do they even exist? - All I can find when I do a search is the high 1/2"pressure brass ones - I can find high and low pressure Toilet cistern ones but...

Our (old I know) Triton T90i Pumped Electric Shower which is Tank fed is very low pressure out of the shower head (have descaled head and tried another shower head so its not limescale)- The tank is up in the loft but its a Bungalow we live in , so Im thinking maybe not enough head height from...

Hi all and i hope someone can verify what im thinking is wrong. Ok just before xmas i go to have a hot bath and theres no pressure at the taps.im running on economy 7 central heating with hot water cylinder.header in the attic. If i blow down the sink hot tap water comes out of the hot tap in...
