    Ball valve gone? Dripping Immersion Tank

    While I have you guys, can I just confirm 2 more quick things? 1. This is the overflow right? I presume the big gap is not a problem and is there so you can see water coming out and know there's a problem yes? 2. This is the toilet (it's disgusting inside so sorry for making you look at...

    Ball valve gone? Dripping Immersion Tank

    Thanks to everyone here by the way, some solid and excellent advice that put my mind at rest and gave me the right information for what to buy. I've never seen a cylinder like this or had electric water heating before. On the other site someone mentioned getting rid of it entirely and fitting an...

    Ball valve gone? Dripping Immersion Tank

    Ball valve gone? Dripping Immersion Tank

    Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me. It's probably not the isolation valve right? That's only there to either allow water out or stop water leaving the tank right? Would a bad ball/float valve have a drip? Do you think the fact that the lower red turning tap being off and stopping more water...

    Ball valve gone? Dripping Immersion Tank

    Hi everyone! There's an annoying drip in the top tank which is constant. It's not overflowed or anything but I am concerned it will. After reading this forum I came to the conclusion it might be a faulty ball valve (simply going off what other people have said about similar issues). I have no...
