We are having a 1st floor shower fitted with a termostatic mixer and I was wondering if we could feed the CW from an existing loft tank?
Reason is that we are on a combi with not the best CW mains flow/pressure in the world and if the incoming CW mains has to feed both it will be a bit of a dribble. The CW tank would only be used to feed this shower as its an old one we no longer need.
I see the only issue if the tank empties...
Would the thermostatic mixer cut the flow if it lost all cold flow?
Is this a regs no-no or just not good practice or is it OK??
Thanks for any helfpul advice!
