Can I disable the pump on a power shower?

[graeme2602]

Hi, I have a Mira GoPower in a bathroom. I'm getting my system upgraded to unvented with an accuboost pumped cylinder. Whilst I am planning a bathroom refurb (new tiles, tray, enclosure, mixer etc), can I turn off the power element to the shower and use it as a straightforward mixer on a temporary basis? Pipe centres are at 28mm so its impossible to find a thermostatic mixer that I can install without any fuss. Any help would be appreciated.

As Shaun says big no I've seen it done they leak very badly!
