Need to buy a tall basin mixer and a bath mixer tap - shouldn't be too hard, but am struggling to find anything that will work on a standard gravity fed system (1st floor bathroom with water tank in the loft). Most taps I'm finding need upwards of 0.5bar pressure, have found some at 0.2bar but can't seem to get a clear answer as to whether they will fill a bath in a reasonable time.

we've come unstuck before when my wife bought some waterfall taps off ebay - fitted them and watched the bath take over an hour to fill halfway - then had to go and buy a pump to get the water flow needed.

Don't really want to go down the pump route again - what pressure do you think i should be looking at and any recommendation for a supplier?

0.2 to 8.0 bar. Very happy with ours.
