Discuss bath shower mixer - unbalanced pressure in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
as puddle says bad practice and in my experience does not work very well,stupid set up'Fit a single-ended booster pump into the hot water supply pipe to bring the hw pressure up to nearer the cold mains pressure (it doesn't have to be anything like exactly equal!).
I recently did this in a flat with great success. I used a NewTeam Varispeed 50 single shower pump (about £153 including delivery). It's rated at 1.5 bar which should be enough for a decent hw/cw mix at the shower head. If the mains pressure still proves to be too high (unlikely), fit a pressure-reducing valve in the cold supply to the shower (or to the whole house if there are other pressure-related problems - e.g. water hammer).
