Ow do

I'm installing a shower in an ensuite and as we have a good bath pressure I'm giving it a go on the shower.

I'm branching off 2 22mm feeds but as a shower mixer input is 15mm I will have to reduce it.
Initially I was going to branch off with an equal 22mm and reduce to 15 near the input but as I akready have 22-15-22 reducer's I'm hoping this will be OK and not reduce pressure too much or will it?

Anyone done this or any advice?
I know it's best to have combi boiler/mains type pressure but I haven't.
Pump is last case scenario.

Keep the supply at 22 until the last moment, but of course its the height of the shower head to the bottom of the header tank that's important......this could be a metre or more less than the bath tap outlet.
I have 2m on my system and get an excellent shower, using a Mira system that is designed to use low pressure.
