Hi Can someone advise what type of shower I need when I have mains
cold water with cylinder hot water. What is a good shower type to
use.

At the moment I have a normal lever mixer, but then you turn it just a
little to the cold the water gets very cold. It generally hard to
control and the shower water temp keeps changing.

Go for the Ideal Stadard Trevi Boost. Not cheap but very well made and
good looking. Run a dedicated 22mm hot supply from the cylinder to the
mixer and a 15mm cold water mains supply.

They work well giving high pressure showers as much as the mains can
deliver. Get the tech specs of the Trevi and test your main pressure.
These venturi mixers must be run within the makers specs. Problems are
invariably poor installation.



....or go for a pumped installation.
