I am attempting two jobs in an ensuite bathroom. They both involve turning off the cold water supply. As far as I am aware the cold water feeds from the loft based tank (interestingly, made of slate).
I have turned off three different taps:-
1) Stop cock.
2) Feed from the tank in the loft.
3) A tap that comes from the top of the hot water cylinder.
The result is that the hot water stops coming out of the hot taps in the bathroom but hot water starts coming out of the cold tap after a minute or so.
Is this possible? Well I know it's possible, but why does it do it?
