Default Power Shower Dilemma

Wingedcat wrote:

I had a brainwave. Install a single impellor booster pump on the hot
side only, and install a thermostatic mixer valve (cheapy from
Screwfix), run the cold from the mains and she'll then end up with the
equivalent of a fully-fledged power shower!

My question is, can anyone foresee any problems with this idea?


It ought to work, but you may find you want a pressure reducing valve on
the mains side as well though to get the two feeds at least close to
each other in pressure.
