Hiya
I have the same problem, I fitted a 1.5 bar pump to the bath tap/shower mixer, the shower now works as a power shower rather than a drip! The tap mixes the water fine, but when I change it to the shower setting it will only run very hot or very cold. I have identified that the problem is that the water pressure for the cold is a lot higher than the hot, so when I turn on the cold it takes over and I get no hot. I believe that the answer is to install a pressure reducing valve.
But I have the following questions:
Should I fit a value to both the hot and cold pipes?
Do I fit the value between the water supply and the pump, or between the pump and the tap/shower mixer?
If anyone is able to help answer the above it would be much appreciated.
Rob, I hope that helps diagnose your problem.

Pauley
