Hello,

The water from our water tank in the loft keeps overflowing out of the
overflow pipe.

We recently replaced the ball valve and I checked the level at which it
shuts off the water however, the water has started to overflow again?

Water pressure too high?

Must be British. The valve in a tank is not a
ball valve. Presume you mean that a ball shaped
float is hooked to the valve (probably by means of
a solid rod). For that type of system you simply
bend the rod between the valve and the float so
that the water level turns off about 1/8-1/4 inch
below the top of the overflow. You need to bend
the rod down so that the valve closes at a lower
water depth.

Forgot to mention that you should check for free
movement of the ball float. Any interference and
you will be unable to get a consistent water level.
