The mixer valve 100 comprises a body having a first inlet 108, a second inlet 112, and at least one outlet 116, a mixing chamber 118 for receiving flows from the first and second inlets to create a mixed flow, and a diverter 122 for controlling the mixed flow from the mixing chamber to the at least one outlet, the diverter having a closed configuration where the mixed flow is prevented from flowing to the at least one outlet, the diverter preventing flow from the first inlet reaching the mixing chamber thus preventing cross-flow between the first and second inlets when in the closed configuration. The first inlet may feed into an inlet waterway 120 and the second inlet into the mixing chamber. The diverter may comprise a fixed part 140 and a moving part 142 which have a shared central axis about which the moving part rotates. The fixed part may have an inlet port and two outlet ports arranged concentrically about the shared axis. The moving part may have two inlet ports and an outlet port arranged concentrically about the shared axis. The mixer valve may be a bar valve. The mixing chamber may include a control valve coaxial with the diverter.
