Yes when i push down water comes out.
the pipe(hole) you say above the waterline seems to be the overflow as its running towards the soffit.
The sh1te in the bottom of it?

yes scoop it our wuth small jug or something you dont want to push it down the feed pipe
does this tank feed the cold water taps?
and you still think the water level should be higher?
i noticed the ball cock bent
no it doesnt feed anything but the heating system, would you want to drink that ? common for ball cocks to be bent
Thats why I asked not drinking that.
do you still think a valve could be closed or partially closed somewhere Ian?
not if water comes out when you press the ball down
OK any other ideas at all?
clean the tank then fill it and see if it stops your circulation problems
thanks Ian will try that so just scoop the water out until its empty, clean tank then let it refill?
Also would this cause the problem for oil boiler not heating water in the cylinder?
yes, you might need to do some bleeding of things though
OK will defo try that, I think there is an air lock in the Hot Water cylinder as open fire back boiler doesnt heat water and oil boiler doesnt heat it to a good temp so i have to use the immersion every day.
Can i bleed the water cylinder any way?
