Hi

Don't know which one to get - Bath shower mixer is connected to a gravity fed tank that supplies the hot water, All the cold is directly fed from the rising main which causes a big problem when trying to get an imbetween water temperature for the shower.

I was advised to either install a pipe to header tank and use this to cold feed or use a pressure reducing valve.

I don't really know what to do with regards to the pipe bit and the water tank is quite small and only seems to fill a third of the way ?

As for the pressure relief valve, I done a little reading and you can get an equalizing valve which is far more expensive but seems to be more orientated around my problem.

Can anyone help me please
