Guys, just installing 2 thermostatic showers on an existing megaflo installation on a property I have just purchased. I believe it is advantageous to have a balanced cold water feed to the 2 showers. This can be achieved by me taking the cold water feed to the 2 showers after the cold water combination valve. My CWCV is located within 1 foot of my megaflo. My question is in the installation manual it states that the "tapping should be at least 3m from the megflo inlet connection". Am I correct it assuming they mean the inlet at the bottom of the megaflo, if so then I can achieve this 3m distance by creating a loop of 22mm copper within the airing cupboard between my CWCV and the inlet of the cylinder and then branching off from this(closest to the CWCV) towards the showers (these are located on the other side of the airing cupboard so are closer than 3m if I were to pipe directly. Thus I will have my showers approx 1.5 m & 3 m from the CWCV and they will be 4.5 & 6M from the inlet at the bottom of my Megaflo. PS is the 3m distance to do with the potential of the megaflo heating the cold water towards the mixer valves.
Hopefully you get my drift! Thanks a lot
