Do you have central heating.... or do you have an immersion heater that justs heats up your hot water??? do you have a big white thing in a case, probably in the kitchen perhaps....?

wanna give that another go slowly

you mean if the cold water runs out

if so that is why you tap the cold lower than the cylinder feed

alls i want to do is fit mixer taps, i just want to know there will be no problem yes i have central heating i have a big storage tank in attic and cylinder in cupboard

You need a low pressure mixer, with the cold coming off the tank in the loft.

Should be no problem if your hot pressure is up to it.

A mixer might not be the best idea.

Not enough pressure to get you wet if the tanks in the attic are just a few feet above the proposed height of your shower head.

Fit an electric of the rising main.
