Discuss Warm water in hot water header tank in the Central Heating Forum area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi all
I have a problem with my hot water header tank getting warm water into it from the bottom of the header tank (not the hooked overflow/expansion pipe. Hence the header tank then reaches the overflow level and the overflow trickles out.
I have changed the ball valve washers thinking it was that but within half an hour of turning my hot water on the pipe at the bottom of the header tank starts feeding warm water into the header tank and hence the level raises.
The header tank is in the attic above second floor. The hot water cylinder (storage) is on 1st floor and boiler on ground floor. I believe this is an indirect system.
Any suggestions gratefully received?
