I am about to replace my kitchen sink and taps. The current tap is a single-lever mixer, and I have a combination boiler.
I am wondering whether I would be better to go for a dual control mixer (ie one which allows the flow from the hot and cold taps to be adjusted independently), as if for example I attempt to run the tap with a 50:50 mixture of hot and cold, the flow rate of the hot water is not sufficient to keep the boiler running, and so the stream goes cold.
Alternatively I see that it is possible to buy taps suitable for low water pressure - would this help sort the problem?
Does anyone have any comments or suggestions?
