here's a view of the tanks http://www.mccune.org.uk/plumb/tanks2.jpg .

The hot water tank is the one on the left hand side the cold water
tank is on the right.

here's a view of the pipes running to/from the hot water tank

the two running away on the left seem to go to the boiler.

Here's a view of the small water tank at the back/top of the hot water

Hope this helps answer what it is... Thanks for the help so far :O)



Thanks for the pictures. Unfortunately, nothing that I recognise!

Do you not also have a hot water cylinder in an airing cupboard? The tank
which you describe as the HW tank doesn't look very big to me, and the F&E
tank isn't where I would expect it to be, relative to the cylinder.


Those are the only tanks that I've seen whilst being in the house, and
there's definately not any other tanks that I've ever seen in any of
the rooms in the house.

One quick question. Would it be likely to cause any problems if I tried
the remedy for an airlock (putting mains water pressure into one of the
hot water taps) regardless? Just thinking it would be useful to
eliminate that as a possibility before trying other things/calling out
a plumber...

Thanks
Just to say that it's fixed now. I went the safe route and got someone
out to have a look at it. It was an airlock and all working now!


Thanks for the help
