FAQs
Does this kit work with my power shower?
Yes, the Mira Nectar Shower Rail Kit is designed to work with any shower system, including power showers, provided the water pressure is within the 0.1-5.0 bar range.
How long is the hose?
The metal hose included in the kit is 1.25 meters long.
How do I clean the limescale from the showerhead?
Simply rub the specialized nozzles with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge limescale. For tougher build-up, a mild solution of vinegar and water can be applied before rubbing.
What is the adjustment range for the slide rail?
The slide rail can be adjusted to fit fixing points between 400mm and 620mm apart.
Can I use this kit if I have very low water pressure?
The kit is designed to function with pressures as low as 0.1 bar, but performance may be limited at such low pressures. It is recommended to have pressure above this minimum for optimal results.
What is the connection size for the hose?
The hose has a standard 1/2" BSP connection, which is compatible with most UK shower fittings.
Does the kit include the mounting screws?
The product description focuses on the adjustable nature of the slide bar to fit existing holes, implying that standard mounting hardware would be used. It's recommended to check the specific packaging contents for included hardware.
Troubleshooting
Showerhead has low water flow
Check the rub-clean nozzles for limescale buildup and clean them. Ensure the hose is not kinked. Verify water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.1 bar).
Slide rail is not secure
Ensure the twist and lock clamp bracket is fully engaged. Check if the mounting surface is stable and clean. If mounting to existing holes, ensure they are correctly aligned and the fixings are tight.
Hose is leaking
Check that the hose connections are tight at both the shower outlet and the showerhead. Inspect the rubber washers within the connectors for damage and replace if necessary.
Soap dish is loose
Ensure the soap dish is correctly clipped onto the slide rail. If it slides down, the clamp bracket on the slide rail might need tightening.
