He said that most of these taps are made for untits with combi boilers when
the pressure of both hot and cold are the same.

I bought the Lidl one (£15), as the £100+ "high quality" Pegler one
that I bought was useless in terms of hot water flow (gravity fed from
hot water cylinder) - and yes, I did check that there was no flow
restrictor or mesh filter, and I changed the flexible hose for a wide-
bore version).

The Lidl one works perfectly - and it does not drip.
