New bathroom, mixer taps/shower, is the cold mains fed or tank.
 
yeah it has a shower mixer cold is mains. the cylinder worked fine for bout half an hour. it fills tank up when the mixer is not on.
 
Unequal supplies = problems. :(

Take the cold feed off the tank which should be slightly lower than the hot feed in case the tank empties in which case it is better for the hot supply to run out first to avoid scalding.

Isolate the shower and see if the problem goes away, then fit single check valves as per the regs, or better still connect the cold to the tank as has been said.
 
hey yeah i understand. but will that stop the tank above cylinder from filling up though the cold feed.it feels like it comes up the cold feed from the cylinder to the tank in. the problem still happerns even when the shower is off.
