I have 2 overflow pipes at gutter height, one for the CH header tank and the other for the hot water cylinder feed tank. The one to the HW drips on a morning. I have been up and had a look at the tank, suspecting a new washer etc would be required and the water level was a good 3" below the overflow outlet pipe! I asked her indoors to run some hot water to drop the level and then I waited for the tank to refill. It did and the flow stopped as expected. There are no other tanks etc connected to this pipe so why does it drip, my first thought was condensation in the pipe but why doesn't the other one drip. Both tanks are side by side and the pipes are similar in length and run the same way so why one and not the other?
TIA
