Do I Need a Pressure Equalising Valve?

your supply is already balanced by going through the combi boiler, the hot water is at the same pressure as the cold, a pressure reducing valve is only needed if your pressure is very high.
What does a pressure Equalising valve do?
A piston operated valve which automatically balances unequal pressures. Suitable as retrofit on supply to manual showers. The pressure equalising valve is designed to supply both hot and cold water to outlets at equal pressures regardless of any water supply pressure fluctuations.
What is the difference between thermostatic and pressure balance?
What's the difference between the two? A thermostatic valve can control what the water temperature actually is, while a pressure-balance shower valve can only control the ratio of how much hot water there is to cold water.
