    Plumbing problem
    I have installed a new mixer in the shower, if I open the hot and cold water simultaneously water squirts out of my pressure release valve, if I only open the cold or hot water I do not experience the problem, what can I do to solve this

    The pressure release valve is not situated at the mixer it is situated on the cold water inlet to the geyser (Kwikot), the mixer is a single handle mix, I attached a similar mixer picture. The problem only occurs if I have the hot and cold water running simultaneously

    Thanks, I have solved the problem by installing a non return valve after the vacuum breaker on the geyser outlet
