Bath mounted thermostatic mixer with shower

[alex_rsa]

Hoping for some help here...

I am looking for short term replacement of the current bath taps with a thermo tap with a shower.

The heating is unvented hot-water and cold water from the cold water tank in the loft. Flow is pretty good through the bath taps but I doubt it has much pressure and the current shower is pretty poor in flow.

All this will be replaced in a year or two so looking for a stop-gap solution, main thing is the shower needs to work.

What I am talking about is something like this -

Thanks

If you have unvented hot water (mains pressure), are you sure you have low pressure (tank fed) cold water? It would an be unbalanced supply.

Sorry, meant vented hot water.

If you've a poor low pressure shower through your current taps, this won't be improved with new taps.

Either pump the supply, or raise your cold water tank as high as you can to gain pressure, maybe it's current sat on the joists?

Tap wise, rare to fit a thermostatic bath/ shower tap these days. Only really worked on Aqualisa's version, but it's an expensive tap at ~£600.

Cheaper to get a separate shower unit with built in pump. Have you thought about an Aqualisa Visage/ Quartz shower. These come in a few different forms, but the one that might be of interest to you, is the loft fed version.

get a normal set of taps and fit a temp reg as building regs say you must ,screw fix no 96288
