I'm refurbing a flat, where the cold/hot water tanks are on the same floor, so I reckon I'm looking at not much more than 0.1bar on hot (and bath cold, which is also gravity fed as there is a shower mixer on the bath - though the flow is rubbish so only suitable for washing your hair really). Raising the tank isn't an option. Heating is all electric.
Are there any nice contemporary taps and bath/shower mixers out there that GENUINELY work on 0.1 bar? I've found some Bristan ones that work on 0.2 but struggling to find anything lower.
My fall back plans are:
1. Switch bath cold to mains, pump the hot with a Grundfos Home Booster pump, and fit a thermostatic bath/shower mixer.
2. As above but fit a proper electric shower, rather than a bath shower mixer (this is going to be a pain as it will mean a new consumer unit etc + its setup for Economy 7 so this will mean more expensive daytime tarif).
3. Go the whole hog and fit a direct/unvented cylinder, and a thermostatic bath/shower mixer.
Thoughts on pros and cons of these also appreciated!
