I went up there to detail some plans re: some network cabling. Saw this black plastic/rubber round container that used to contain water approx just above the laundry room. What's that? |

I would assume the header tank? |

That was the method of obtaining the reduced water pressure for the hot water supply. It was also a bit of a magnet for rodents when the lid was left off. (Going by the amount of tiny bones in ours in Pt Chevalier about 65 years ago.) |

In our former home in ChCh (a 1920's bungalow) there were three header tanks in the ceiling cavity - one black plastic cylindrical tank that was alive and working until we swapped over to gas water heating, and the carcases of two old galvanised tanks that had been left up there when they were pensioned off rather than taking the roof off to get them out. The black plastic one fitted Nomad's description. |
