Cold supply from tank
Jan 3rd, 2018, 3:46pm
 
We are planning to put a mixer/shower tap on our bath, for guests to use as shower from time to time. We already have a separate cold supply off tank to a separate shower.
My question is, is it ok to tee into the separate shower supply for the cold feed to bath mixer tap, or do I need to take another supply from tank purly for the bath mixer?

Should be ok to take it from the existing, provided they are both the same pressure/source

Thanks for that, was not looking forward to draining tank and fitting another supply.
Will take your advise, cheers.

It's not a pumped shower is it?  They ideally want their own supply so there isn't a risk of them sucking in air when you open a tap
