Plumbing Help - Water Overflow
«
on:
April 04, 2009, 01:20:19 AM »
Got a problem with my overflow. There's a bit of a trickle coming out of the over flow pipe so I went to the loft and checked them out. The main one is fine, I made a small adjustment to the ball thingy and it's ok now. There's also a smaller one which the main one feeds into. This one is the one that's overflowing. The feed from the main to this box is fine, well it runs slightly and it's all rusted up so the ball on the arm thing needs replacing, but it's only a trickle. Also going into this tank is a pipe that I assume comes from the hot water tank as this is where the main problem is coming from. The waters hot (that's why I assume it's from the water tank) and when the hot water is turned on on the boiler (to get some hot water sorted) the pipe is in full flow but it doesn't stop.
Is this going to be solved when I replace the faulty ball on arm thingy do you know? If not, how do I get it to stop when the tank is full of hot water - should the tank have hot water in it anyway? Do I need a plumber or can I do it? I can change the ball over myself.
Thanks

If your in the loft you might as well change both ball valves at the same time as it sounds if the diaphragm is begining to wear and its just easier to change the ball valve than the diaphragm,all that is needed is an adjustable spanner and a pair of grips,the nut you want to undo is on the pipe connecting to the ball valve which is normally a tap-connector,these undo anti clock wise so if you hold the grips on the body of the ball valve whilst undoing the nut with the spanner,when you have done this undo the nut which attaches the ball valve to the tank again undo it in an anti clockwise movement. reverse it to do it back up.If you are replacing the ball valves get a couple of tap connector washers as well,these are little red fibre washers that go between the tap connector and the ball valve,but remeber to remove the old 1's fisrt.Depending which ball valve you get you can adjust the water level by either bending the brass arm down or adjusting a nut on the arm that holds the float(ball thingy)
As for the hot water going into the feed and expansion tank(little tank) this is caused by either over heating of the water in your heating system or the pump running at a too high speed, have a look on your pump to see if it has a speed setting normally indicated by either III, IIor I, III is high speed I is low speed if that doesnt work it sounds like the boiler thermostat isnt working properly which will need replacing.
What boiler do you have and what make of pump is it?
