No water from attic tank.

Tagoatian · 2021-11-27 18:56:03

We had no water for a day due to a burst main. Water is back but there's no water coming from the (full) attic tank to taps or toilet cisterns. There are 4outlets from the tank but only one with a stopcock. No plumber available til Monday!!!

If it's an airlock you might be able to clear it by connecting a hose from your kitchen cold tap to one of the stopped ones and opening both valves for a while.

Do you have a pump in your attic, between the tank and the taps/toilets ? They usually need a reset if the tank has been drained.
