Hi all,
Just looking for a little advice!
I'm in the middle of fitting a power shower..
Cold is mains fed and hot is to be pumped due to low pressure..
The problem is, I'm stuck with a twin impeller pump, and I know cold mains should never be pumped directly (bought it a while ago, just got round to fitting shower)
Would it be ok to run the cold mains through a pressure reducing valve before going into the pump, or possibly run both hot and cold through a pressure equalising valve before the pump? And then outlets of the pump to the shower mixer
Or: Run HW on both sides of the pump (so it doesn't run dry on C/W side), and run C/W straight to mixer (through prv)
Or: Bite the bullet and buy a single impeller for H/W, with c/w straight to mixer (through prv)
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers
