Advice on leaking overflow pipe from back of boiler

[SuperMarryO]

Hi everyone,

I would really appreciate any advice you might be able to give me on resolving the following problem please:

I am a diy plumber and I have just replaced my bath suite in which I had to isolate the water from the mains stopcock on the road. Since I have switched the water back on and everything is fitted I now have 2 problems as follows:

The water pressure from the hot tap on the bath is poor

When I run the hot tap there is water pouring from the overflow pipe that goes outside from the back of the boiler



Can anybody please advise me why this might be and how to fix them?

Welcome to the forums.

have you left your filling loop on

Either filling point on boiler is open or damaged what make boiler do you have ?? you may need to call out a gas engineer if problem is inside the boiler.

you haven't accidentally crossed the pipework over?

Other than checking your filling loop is turned off there's nothing more you can do.

You need a gsr.
