    Hi
    Does it matter how much water is in the small tank (central heating tank) in the attic.?

    Mine has water in it but it would be only about 1/4 full or less. Is that ok or should there be more water in it and if so how do i add water, just fill couple buckets cold water from kitchen tap and add it or some other way?

    Central heating system is OFCH and is working. I just curious about amt water should be in it as was just up in attic checking tanks and pipes etc

    Thanks

    Push the ballcock down and see if water comes out. If it does, its fine, if it doesn't then you have issues with the water getting to it. Most likely low pressure.

    It doesn't matter - as long as there is water covering the outlet of the tank (the pipe joining the central heating system) you are fine. But only as long as that!
