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.

Why not take the cold feed from the cold header tank - rather than from
the mains - and then use a dual-channel boost pump, triggered by a flow
switch? That's what I do - with plenty of flow, and good temperature
control because hot and cold water pressures are equal.


Until leaks or fails and all the nosie they make. A good pump is NOT cheap.
