The more the tap is on the cooler it is. very slow is very hot, the water
looks white. faster flow and you can sit under it like in the shower, its
fine. I need to rethink this and get someone out who is prepared to do the
job properly. You are all right, flow will be very important especially
rinsing off German Shepherds and Collies, also rinsing down their area i
will definately need a good flow. The cut into the pipe isnt going to cut
the mustard I think.

I will do a list of what I need from SF and get the parts in. i know a
plumber a friend of a friend who I dont like o bother as he is always busy i
am sure if I get the parts he will fit it for me.

It may sound a bit daft, but if you have a cold pipe close to the hot
one, why not get a cheap bar mixer type thermostatic shower[1], and
mount that outside? That way you have an ideal spray and hose for the
dogs, and can chose a temperature to suit.

[1] Makro often do Bristan mixers for about £50+vat, like the one I used
he
