Getting more common with cheap showers and brassware no doubt!

Yep had this also, too many outlets it could have been, so put a 3 bar PRV above mains stopcock so all outlets and showers where balanced, on the megaflo you can do this on install as long as you record where the PRV is fitted etc, if a complete new build obviously everything would go via the PRV's balanced port.

they used to come with a seperate press reducer and cold exp relif but now seem to be combined

Correct pal, no doubt due to cost! Although the new combined valve is supposed to flow 20% more with the same pressure!

Really!? I wonder if that's true?

Depends if you believe in Santa Claus?
The wording on their site has been updated to" new water inlet controls increase flow rates by up 20%"
Maybe they got challenged over their claims? It now appears further down their marketing bullet points too

I live in SE London area.
The hot water to taps is always better. Maybe something to do with the shower valves ?
Ariston have advised to check the water volume passing through but dont know how to do that.
thanks
