I am not mad keen about having electric boxes in my shower and am looking for options to replace the electric shower which currently runs solely of the main cold feed.
The room does have a supply of hot water that runs from a conventional gravity hotwater tank with a header tank that will be 3+ meters above the shower height. Unfortunately it would be quite difficult to lay in a new cold water feed from the same header as it is a very old house with very thick stone walls.
I would really like to find some way to combine the existing hot and cold (which are at different pressure) in a thermostatic mixer and feed the shower that way. All the common place mixers I have seen do not seem to cater for this, has anybody got any good suggestions as to how I might do this without spending a fortune? Appreciate any good ideas - Mike
