I recently had water overflowing from my central heating header tank. I replaced the ballvalve, which had no effect. I isolated the water supply, and it still overflowed (about 1 gallon per week). In this situation, the only way for water to get into the central heating system was via the coil in the copper storage cylinder. If your central heating header is higher than your cold water storage, then it would happen the other way round. I hope this is not your problem, or you are competent at diy, as the plumbers will charge

What is an overflow in a bathtub?

Typically right under the faucet in a bathtub is a round metal piece with holes. This is an overflow outlet. It connects to the bathtub drain. If water rises over that disk, it will go through the overflow...so your tub does not fill completely and overflow the edge of the tub. The overflow prevents accidental flooding of the bathroom.
