Why do I have water tanks in my attic? How does my immersion heater work and feed into the system? Is it true that the cold water from downstairs comes from the mains, and is therefore clean, while cold water from upstairs taps comes from the tank in the attic and probably has bits of pigeon or bat in it?
Thanks very much!

Water for cold taps is drawn direct from the supply, where it doesn’t matter if there is some interruption to the supply hot water is stored in the attic in case of an interruption to the supply. Water can be fed to the hot water system with a continual supply, if you don’t have this when the water goes off and you heat all the remaining hot water and use it up the boiler then heats nothing and when the supply come on water is added in and immediately evaporates to steam and explodes the boiler.
