I'm installing a new basin/mixer in my downstairs cloakroom (where
the old basin had two separate taps). Now as the cold is fed by the
rising main, and the hot by the tank in the loft I have a pressure
imbalance to cope with. I believe this requires a pressure reducer
valve on the cold feed.

I did a similar thing in the kitchen with a posh lever arm mixer. Only
to discover it was really intended for high pressure only. As most of
these things are these days. So have you actually tried yours yet? I
ended up adding a pump to the hot rather than reducing the cold flow.


Yep. A pump for one tap. Amazing.


It is, isn't it? If you need instructions on how to fit one feel free to
ask.


I would never be so dumb as to fit a pump on one tap, so do not need your
instructions.
