If a thermostatic shower is installed on unbalanced supplys, pumped hot water from and emerge heater and tank and cold from mains. If single check valves are Installed. Will it work to a good standard? Swapping it to balanced supplys isnt possible so I have been told.

What was the reason given ,that makes it impossible ? A thermostatic valve needs equal / balanced pressures to function properly.

Thanks iv not seen pressure equalising valves before could be the answer
 
Are these pressure equalising valves good? Never had anything to do with them before.
