Can Mixer Showers operate with low pressure?
They are suitable for either low or high pressure, however to operate correctly both the hot and the cold water supplies need to come from a source operating at the same pressure. Both can come from a mains fed system (combi boiler or multi point water heater/cold mains) or both can be supplied from tank (immersion and cold storage tank). If one supply must come from high pressure and one from low pressure, a pressure balanced mixer valve can be installed. Clearly a mixer shower will not increase the flow of water to your system. If your water flows from your taps at a poor rate, this is the rate it will feed the shower.
