Hi there I am having trouble with hot water coming through cold taps
its on an unvented system in a large house with over 4 bathrooms
I have installed a secondary return on system with a bronze pump going back into
cold main at cylinder via a swept tee
and also a non return valve to prevent back flow to cold

I have tried everything even fitting non return valves on all appliances I can get to
it's a new install and I have piped it all myself

I think I might have teed a pipe in wrong
ie hot return into cold
but surely if I isolate the cold and leave the hots on I would have a flow of water through the cold side of taps

I'm after any advise people
thanks for your time
 
You don't sound as though you are qualified or competent to be working on that to be frank.

You need an engineer who is G3 compliant!
