low pressure mixer tap

[Musttryharder]

We have a common problem. Fitted new stylish ensuite basin mixer tap, not enough hot water pressure. Mixer taps that work with low pressure are advertised 0.2, the one we have says 1.00. Does anyone know if these work, do not want to fork out for one if it won't.
Thanks.

Your cold header tank would have to be very high up indeed to deliver 1 bar of pressure.....you'll need the low pressure taps for your project, it seems.

So will the 0.2 pressure one work?

As far as I remember, (soon to be corrected, I feel) 0.1 bar equals one metre of tank height, so if your taps require 0.2 bar, then the bottom of the header tank needs to be 2 metres above the level of the taps for full performance.
In practice, the taps work with less head than this.

Tank on same floor no loft. So it looks like a new unvented cylinder or a pump? Mega bucks Does anyone know of a "really quiet "pump?
