Equaliser valve on the cheap.

[PullerGas]

I want to replicate an equaliser valve for a shower. It's low pressure hot water(.4bar) & cold mains(3bar). Unsure about flow rates.
Any of you chaps able to help?

They're only £50 - I know you're Scottish, but how tight are you trying to be

Stick in a venturi shower rather than farting about with equilising valves.

It can't be that difficult to balance the H&C, Flow & Pressure.
I guess if I pump boost the hot that'll do it.

£50!!! That's a fortune Danny boy.

Cheaper than a pump.

Fork off!!

That's not a pump - that's a fecking liability

I could stick one of these on the Cold along with a valve to limit the flow;

But I would prefer to boost the Hot.

Yeah, yeah Dan I bet you've just ordered half a dozen.

Nah - down here in civilisation we have decent water pressures

Oh the water pressure here is marvellous Dan, but unfortunately the Hot water service is via a vented cylinder & header 'cistern' - no limescale, just pure Scottish water. Which I'm sure will enhance the longevity of my Chinese pump, which can be speedily supplied via Whanking Industries Ltd in Hongkers.

on a more serious note puller , why don't you get something fit for purpose because you know it will only get ripped out again , its just hassle at the end of the day
