We got an extension built just over a year ago and it included an ensuite with an Aqualisa Quartz pumped shower. The cold pressure in the ensuite taps has always been poor. I have only just discovered the main stopcock has been left 3/4 closed, I presume by the plumber when he was plumbing the ensuite, and when you open it fully the pressure in the ensuite taps is OK. I wonder if this was a quick way of equalising the pressure in the cold and hot feeds for the shower and is there a proper way of achieving the same thing (i.e. some kind of pressure reduction device)?
