I've got a customer who's F & E tank keeps overflowing randomly and was wondering if anyone here had any ideas. I originally went and replaced the ball valve, it wasn't passing when I went but was old/scaled so I assumed that it was the cause and replaced it. Got a call yesterday saying it had started again so went back to take a look, again valve wasn't passing but water level in tank was high and it was overflowing. I took a look in the cold water storage tank which was well below overflow level and gave the valve a push, this caused the valve in the F & E tank to pass water ( which I can't think of an explanation for) so decided valve must be faulty, replaced it and checked it wasn't doing the same thing still. I then set the level of water in the F & E tank well below overflow level as I thought it was a bit high and the water expansion may have been contributing. This evening I got a message saying it had started again and was worse than ever, I've yet to go take a look but I'm wondering if it could be a small hole in the cylinder coil causing the water in the tanks trying to level out (cold storage is at higher level than F & E) I don't see how it can be anything to do with the valve now and I can't think of any other explanation.
So my question is can anyone offer any other explanations, and if not is there any easy way I could prove this or not?
