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
