How can I increase hot water pressure to one tap?

[Roypott]

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

Best way to sort this is blender valve inside connect outlet to your new tap.
Done a number like this including for myself (used to show setters)

Pressure reducing valve on cold to tap feed, to equal that of hot?

TMV? Would this work with unbalanced supplies? I haven’t fitted many.

Most blender valves will work at 5 to 1 rwc make some that go to 10 to 1

Trouble it the hot is quite a low pressure, I’d rather increase it than reduce the cold flow if possible.

Sorry, not sure how this would work, I have a hot and a cold tap separately plumbed through the wall. Which feed are u suggesting the valve goes on ?

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)

Both, and this then comes out blended. Tee’d if you want to keep a supply.
