We have recently refitted our bathroom but seem to have fitted a bath tap with a higher pressure requirement than we have - the hot water is very slow coming out and once you mix in some cold it goes completely cold. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a low pressure wall mounted mixer or shower/mixer tap. I keep seeing terms like "although this tap is suitable for low pressure systems, we recommend a minimum 0.5bar" on the descriptions but don't want to make another mistake.
There is a shower mounted over the bath and there is no problem with this. This was already in and we have just moved it. The cold water feed for this is from a cold water tank in the loft, whereas the bath is fed off the mains supply. Would we be better re-routing the cold water from the tank to the bath as well to equalise the pressure going into the mixer, or would this take even longer to fill the bath It is a big bath (900*1900)
Finally, the hot water was originally on a 22mm pipe, but the mixer tap only took a 15mm connection, so we converted it. Is it possible to connect the 22mm pipe to a mixer Presumably this was why we didn't have a problem with the pressure on the old bath
Another finally Would a booster pump be the answer
Any advice will be gratefully received - we worked so hard over easter
Many thanks
