Hi Munky , obvious questions, was the cold from the mains or did it go via a header tank in the loft I still come accross this arrangement quite often and what was the pressure like.

Hi Munky
Ah it must be blood of a hundred English men running down the hills.
Has your customer asked the neighbours if they are suffering the same. ?
The hot should be coloured too if the cold mains is contaminated is the probelm confined to 1 outlet ?
