I have installed an outside hot tap along side a cold one. The idea being that I could set up a mixer using hoselock fittings so I have a wArm water to clean the dogs outside in winter. However as i suspected the cold mains pressure over powers the weak hot pressure we have, so it doesn’t really operate as a mixer.
Would I be able to solve this by just increasing the hot pressure with something like a micro pump? Or will this never work because It’s not possible to match the cold pressure?
Any suggestions or ideas appreciated
 
Most blender valves will work at 5 to 1 rwc make some that go to 10 to 1

Yeah, just seen Bristan make a 10:1 version. So I take it from this, providing it’s not say 5 bar cold, and tank fed will be approx 0.5 bar, it will be ok, or have I got it wrong? (I’m a bit carp at maths)
