No idea. Never been told to keep an eye on anything. Does the F&E tank
not fill up as needed with a cistern-type, floating-ball inlet?


The F&E tank *largely* looks after itself - using a ball-valve to top up
when necessary. *However*, because the ball valve opens so infrequently,
it can seize up - and not deliver water when required - with the result
that the F&E tank empties, and air is drawn into the system. That's why
it's a good idea to keep an eye on it periodically.
