  • Have just been up to the loft to renew the ball valve in the water tank and noticed a load of sediment at the bottom. This does actually feed into our drinking water, I was wondering if this is particularly safe? Currently the water coming through the taps is a bit stirred up with sediment so not drinking it and waiting for it to settle. Just wondering if I should be draining it and and cleaning it, I would rather not as it's a really awkward spot to get onto.

  • Drink water from the kitchen tap, it's generally fed straight from main supply.

    But if you prefer the bathroom tap for night then isolate the supply / tie up the ball, drain and clean the tank.

  • Well whoever plumbed up this house didn't go to your school of plumbing, all taps are linked to cold water tank, including the kitchen, so drain and clean it is, bugger
