Ask yourself this.

Where is the cold feed to the cylinder coming from?

another smart one! cwsc feeds the hot water cylinder via the cold feed correct right,so my question is should the cold to the bath tap be from its own cold feed or is the current set up ok from the cold feed to the hw tank?

 

[scatmanjohn]

True, but their diagram is wrong anyway as a cold water outlet should be lower than the feed to the cylinder (to prevent the possiblility of scolding) if you're going to do it that way.

Wouldn't worry about it too much, but by all means install two separate outlets if you want to. Think there's more of a concern if you're fitting a shower fed by the CWS.
