i have a client that wants a lower hot water temperature at his taps, I have recommended placing a mixer valve at the outlet of the hot water cylinder to reduce the temp.
i don’t want to drop the cylinder stat down, and a mixer at each tap would more expensive.
Its an open feed cylinder horizontal ( on the ground floor ) , with good pressure from the tank in the loft.
I know thermal store cylinders used with solar have mixers on the out lets.

question is can i do this with a normal domestic hot water system?
i am aware that in hospitals its not good practice due to long pipe runs and legionella can form in pipes, but this is just a 3 bed house.
thanks for your feed back
 
All sorted I found info at reliance, best practice is to install a mixer within 2 meter from taps etc.

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?
