Hi guys - I'm new to forum - I have a question-

I have a combo boiler and directly above is my bathroom - where I will have a shower mixer tap and bath tap.

Hot water to both sink, bath and shower is 15mm from boiler -

Question is - is it ok to run my cold water from the mains - which is a 22mm pipe - will my shower mixer handle it? Or will I have to feed a water tank in roof and make gravity fed? Appreciate any advice -

Cheers
 
Water coming through boiler and mains should be nigh on identical unless you have a ridiculously high mains pressure then it might be worth a pressure reducing valve on your incoming mains to balance the property and protect your boiler. Maybe get it tested if you believe this to be the case

When I turn on the shower or bath, initially the pump runs (quite loudly) and only a trickle comes out. I have to alternate turning on the bath and shower before I get a reasonable flow. Then once it is running, if the water is at maximum temperature on the mixer it flows smoothly, but as soon...
