FAQs

Is this shower suitable for combi boilers?

Yes, the Mira Minilite BIR Mixer Shower is suitable for all water systems, including those fed by combi boilers.

How do I clean the showerhead?

The showerhead features rub-clean nozzles. Simply wipe the head with a damp cloth and gently rub the nozzles to dislodge any limescale. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is Mira Magni-flo™ technology?

Mira Magni-flo™ is a technology that delivers up to 3x more flow than standard mixer showers, significantly improving shower performance, especially in low-pressure systems.

Can I adjust the maximum temperature?

Yes, the shower mixer has an adjustable maximum temperature limit for enhanced safety. Refer to the installation manual for adjustment instructions.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Mira Minilite BIR Mixer Shower is backed by a 5-year guarantee from Mira.

Does this mixer come with a shower hose and handset?

This product is for the mixer valve and deluge showerhead only. A separate shower hose, handset, and riser rail are typically sold separately or as part of a complete shower kit.

What type of installation does this mixer require?

This is a concealed mixer valve, meaning it is designed to be installed behind the wall for a sleek, built-in look.

Troubleshooting

No water or very low flow

Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the inlet filters are clean and not blocked. Verify that the shower valve is correctly plumbed and that there are no blockages in the pipework.

Water temperature is too hot or too cold

Adjust the temperature control lever. If the issue persists, check the thermostatic valve calibration or ensure the hot and cold water supplies are balanced. The maximum temperature limit may need adjustment.

Showerhead has poor spray pattern

Clean the rub-clean nozzles on the showerhead to remove any limescale or debris. Ensure water pressure is adequate for the deluge head.

Inconsistent water temperature

The thermostatic element may require servicing or replacement. Ensure there are no simultaneous high-demand water uses (e.g., flushing toilet) that could affect temperature stability.

Leaking from the mixer valve

If the leak is from the concealed valve, professional servicing or replacement of internal seals may be required. Ensure all connections are securely tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This shower mixer is designed for concealed installation, meaning the valve unit is typically installed behind the wall.

Care:

  • Regularly check for any signs of limescale buildup and address it promptly using the rub-clean feature.
