Discuss 2 cold feeds to indirect hot water tank in the UK Plumbing Forum | Plumbing Advice area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi, I am reinstating an indirect hot water tank and have 2 cold water feeds coming into it from the same supply. One of the feeds has a float valve but what ever was on the other has been removed. Why would there be 2 feeds to the top of the tank? Can I blank one off and just use the float valve to fill? Tank is a RCM group copperform tank, about 20 years old.

Thanks

Feed on the left had the float valve attached, feed on the right must have had something removed. Third picture was something floating in the tank, I assume its off what ever was on the right hand side
