We have a large header and feed tank in the loft. This is the header for the hot water tank, and also supplies the toilet and bath with cold water. The ball float valve that is used to fill the tank does not cut off cleanly, and it is difficult to adjust. As the tank is so big, it is very slow to reach cut off level, which essentially means it is almost always just dribbling up to the cut off level.
With the ball float valve just open, the feed pipes whistle and whine, which is getting pretty annoying.
Any ideas on how to fix it?
I could get a new valve, but the sheer size if the tank means that it takes a lot of water to move the valve an inch. Maybe there is something I need to learn about the correct set up of the ball float and arm?
