Hi,
I have a 2 storey house with hot water tank on first floor with cws directly above.
I recently fitted a thermostatic mixer on bath situated on ground floor approx 12ft below cws.
The hot flow to normal taps is good but when I turn the bath hot on flow is minimal which is not entirely unexpected.
I think I need a positive head pump like a salamander ct75 to boost pressure just to the mixer which incorporates a shower.
My question is this;
My cold pressure is superb but do I run a new cold feed pipe from cws to pump or just use the already powerful mains cold supply?.
My reasoning is that if the mains supply failed (albeit rarely) then only hot water would be fed to the shower which could be dangerous.
Obviously running this pipe is a pain if i don't need to.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
