I had a tiny amount of overflow from my Heatrae Sadia Megaflow Direct for 5 years without problems, it was so small it wasn't worth bothering with. Then my neighbour in the flat below starts complaining about the tiny overflow and some helpful 'handyman' tells me I have to bleed the tank.
So we go through the usual procedure, turn off the cold inlet, turn on the hot taps, drain the tank for 20mins, then put the input back on, then wait for the taps to run again, then let go of the valve. Sorted.
Well, now the overflow is going ten to the dozen and my neighbour is doing his nut and my water bill is through the roof!
So the instruction book tells me that the input pressure must be too high. Is this the problem? Should I try another bleed? Or something else?
One interesting point is that the cold stop valve/lever is VERY stiff, does that indicate high pressure?
HELP!
