Your shower is fed ny the cold water main. Turn off the main stopcock to the house and turn the cold tap in your kitchen on - if the flow has stopped there will be no drama or divorce.

The newteam 1000 is tank fed hot and cold water, you need to find the hot supply from the cylinder and the cold from the tank which is feeding the shower, there should be isolating valves (but not always) on the feeds to your shower.

So so sorry

At least your wife has someone else to blame

hi folks thank you all for your replies to my problem. unfortunately idon't seem to be having any further success. here's what i've done.

closed off entry point-to house- stopcock.
turned off 2 gate valves in attic, main and overflow tanks.
closed 3 gate valves from hot water cistern.

result; no cold water in any taps, still some water -not much- coming from hot taps, may eventually stop?.

But water still flowing from shower!
So, like they say in those messages when one of your emails fails to go,
have given up,not going to try anymore.
well maybe.

just leave it running it will stop eventually

make sure the kitchen cold tap is open as well

Lets hope the gate valves open up again...........or there will be more problems!
