I'm looking at installing an electric instantaneous water heater, as sold by Galaxy, Redring, etc; I've read that you can't plumb these straight into a thermostatic mixer shower (which is a shame cos I just fitted one last year, only to find out my DHW system is cr*p).
So, instead, I'm thinking of fitting a blender valve, and then feeding this to my old-fashioned mixer taps on the bath, for use with a shower-head. The idea is that the water will be delivered at a preset temperature, and in use you just need to turn the hot tap all the way on. If it's too hot, you can dial in some cold too, without this affecting the water heater at all.
Does anybody know if this setup would work?
Yes I could fit an electric shower, but where's the fun in that!
