I am wondering if I need to install a power pump to the shower enclosure I am installing (it is 1 of those with 8 different body sprays etc), or can I install it by taking the cold feed from the mains supply ( which is very powerfull,probably 3 bar+)& mixing it with the supply from hot water cylinder? Any contributions would be very appreciated.

No you will either need an unvented cylinder installed or a really good dual shower pump and possibly an additional cold storage tank, or a really good combi or the money you spent on the fancy shower you might aswell have sat over the fire dropping £50 notes into it.
Cheers Paul, I suspected I'd need to get a pump.I bought the shower enclosure (because it looked the business) b4 really investigating what was required re. instillation.The job has spouted arms & legs & is far more complicated than I first thought.By the way. not being plumbing speak savvy, what is an 'unvented' cylinder?
