The hot water supply for my shower is gravity fed from the geyser (+/- 0.5 bar)and the cold water is direct from the mains (+/- 3 bar) Whats the best way to balance up the water pressure, with an inline booster pump in the hotwater supply? I am afraid that if I reduce the cold water pressure not enough water will reach the shower head. Help!

Use the geyser water to heat mains water through an indirect water heater, then both sides will have the same pressure.

This is awkward, but...
