I'm having great problems with a thermostatic tap/shower mix I've fitted to the bath. I can only get, at best, luke warm water out of it,
even when it is set on it's hottest setting. The cold water is fed directly off the mains, with plenty of pressure, the hot is fed from my
combi-boiler, at about 70C, which is a lot lower pressure. If I put a kink in the cold water pipe to the cold side of the tap it works fine.
Could somebody please tell me if I'm doing something wrong or whether this is a common problem. Can I buy something to restrict the flow of
cold water to the tap? But would this make the shower part of the tap useless, due to lack of pressure?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
