FAQs

How often should I replace the Mira Shower Cartridge?

The replacement frequency depends on your water hardness and usage. A general guideline is to replace it annually or when you notice a significant decrease in shower performance or an increase in limescale.

Can I use this cartridge in a different brand of shower?

No, this cartridge is specifically designed for Mira Fino and Verve shower models. Using it in incompatible units can lead to poor performance or damage.

What does 'reducing chemicals' mean for my shower?

It means the cartridge helps to filter out certain minerals and compounds present in tap water, which can contribute to water hardness and leave residue. This can result in slightly softer water and less buildup on shower components.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is generally straightforward for someone comfortable with basic DIY tasks. However, always refer to your specific shower unit's manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions.

What is covered by the manufacturer's guarantee?

The minimum 1-year guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or normal wear and tear.

Does this cartridge improve water pressure?

While it doesn't directly increase water pressure, by preventing limescale buildup, it helps maintain the shower's original flow rate and efficiency, which can feel like improved pressure compared to a scaled-up unit.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water flow after installation

Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated and not blocked by debris. Re-check for proper installation steps.

Leaking around the cartridge area

Verify that the cartridge is fully inserted and that any seals or O-rings are intact and properly positioned. Ensure the water supply was turned off before installation.

Shower temperature is unstable

Confirm the cartridge is the correct model for your shower. Check that the main water supply valves are fully open and that there are no blockages in the pipework leading to the shower.

Difficulty removing the old cartridge

Consult your shower unit's specific manual for the recommended removal method. Gentle, steady pressure is often required. Ensure no tools are used that could damage the shower unit.
