Does the water in the loft water tank reach the drinking taps or is it only for heating?
That water is used in the cold taps in your bathroom and for the heated water you use. Don't drink from these taps.
What letter would you see on a french hot tap?
Usually there are no letters on French taps; some old taps bear the letters C (for chaud = hot) and F (froid = cold). Hot water taps are always located on the left side, cold water taps on the right. It is also standard to find color marks (blue for cold, red for hot) on the taps. On newer models, having a central lever instead of two taps, you turn the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for more cold water. Also the blue and red marks may be found on these type of taps.
