    Overflow pipe does not stop flowing
    Hello
    I have a problem with my overflow pipe on my geyser, it continueosly run. As far as I knew it is only suppose to run once the pressure build up is to high in the geyser, it then opens to release any excess steam and pressure. How can I get it to stop dripping because it is causing a swamp in my back yard. Is there a piece on the geyser that needs to be replace / lubricated allowing it to work correctly

    Shane, could you take a shot at describing the situation again, what is the fixture that is leaking, what does this fixture do/ I think we are using different vocabulary because I have not one clue what you are describing.
    Thanks,
    Bob
