Hi Guy's I have a customer with a problem cold water tank that keeps overflowing !!!!
Now I have changed the ball cock twice to no avail
I have raised the overflow feedback pipe ( Expansion Pipe ) by 500mm thinking it could be that
raised the cover off the top of the tank thinking it could be something there no joy
next checked to see if there was any discolouration in the Hot water NO LUCK there
CH pump is on 2 speed ///// central heating is working all good .....its just been serviced and checked by BG no fault found
I am at a reel lost here just can not find the reason why ..........HELP Pleasssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee

Pb the remedy would be to fit a non return valve on the hot pipe feed to kitchen sink then correct ??
as that's the only tap that has mains cold on
