Its key benefit is the advanced thermostatic technology that maintains water temperature and flow, preventing sudden changes and scalding. A potential consideration is its concealed installation, which requires professional fitting. This build-in mixer shower features a single control for ease of use, a fixed 18.5cm deluge head for an immersive experience, and is compatible with all UK water systems.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of thermostatic technology in this shower?

Thermostatic technology ensures a constant and safe shower temperature by automatically adjusting the mix of hot and cold water. This prevents sudden, uncomfortable changes in temperature and protects against scalding.

How does Magni-Flo technology improve shower performance?

Magni-Flo technology increases water flow, especially at low pressures. It can deliver up to three times more water flow than standard mixer showers when operating on low-pressure systems, providing a more invigorating shower experience.

Is this shower suitable for a low-pressure water system?

Yes, the Mira Element is specifically designed to be compatible with all UK water systems, including low-pressure ones, thanks to its Magni-Flo technology.

Can the shower head be moved or replaced?

The shower head is fixed, but it does have an adjustable ball joint allowing you to angle the spray. It is not designed to be easily removed or replaced with a different type of shower head.

What is the warranty period for this shower?

The Mira Element Thermostatic Mixer Shower is backed by a 5-year manufacturer guarantee.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains or limescale, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner or a solution of white vinegar and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Does this shower require a specific type of water heater?

No, it is compatible with a wide range of water heaters including gravity fed systems, combination boilers, instantaneous gas heaters, and unvented mains pressure systems.

Troubleshooting

Shower temperature is inconsistent or fluctuates significantly.

Ensure the thermostatic valve is functioning correctly. Check for any blockages in the filters or the shower head. Verify that the water system is balanced and that no other high-demand appliances are running simultaneously. Ensure the maximum temperature stop is correctly set.

Low water flow from the shower head.

Check the shower head for limescale or debris buildup and clean if necessary. Ensure the stop valves on the hot and cold water supplies are fully open. If using a low-pressure system, confirm the Magni-Flo technology is engaged and functioning as expected. Verify your water system pressure meets the minimum requirements.

Shower will not turn on or off.

Check that the main water supply to the shower is turned on. Inspect the single lever control for any signs of damage or blockage. If the issue persists, the internal valve mechanism may require servicing or replacement.

Water leaks from the shower valve body.

This typically indicates a problem with the internal seals or connections. The shower valve will likely need to be accessed (requiring wall removal if concealed) and serviced by a qualified plumber. Ensure all connections are tight and seals are intact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maintains a consistent and safe shower temperature due to thermostatic technology.
  • Enhanced water flow at low pressures thanks to Magni-Flo technology.
  • Easy to operate with a single lever control.
  • Offers a luxurious showering experience with the large deluge head.
  • Sleek, modern appearance due to concealed installation.
  • Durable and easy to maintain with a chrome-plated brass construction.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation due to concealed fitting.
  • Fixed shower head cannot be easily repositioned or removed.
  • Single spray pattern may not suit all user preferences.
  • Performance may vary slightly between different water system types.
  • Initial setup might be more complex than surface-mounted showers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a build-in mixer shower, meaning the main valve is concealed within the wall cavity. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting and waterproofing. The installation process involves connecting to your existing hot and cold water supply pipes within the wall before the wall surface is finished.

Compatibility:

The Mira Element is designed to work with all standard UK water systems:

  • Rear wall fed systems
  • Gravity fed supplies
  • Combination boilers
  • Instantaneous gas heaters
  • Unvented mains pressure systems
  • Mains pressure thermal stores

Care:

To maintain the shower's appearance and function:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish.
  2. Limescale: For limescale removal, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for bathroom fixtures or a solution of white vinegar and water. Apply with a soft cloth, leave for a short period, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
  3. Shower Head: Periodically check the shower head for any blockages. Most modern shower heads have rubber nozzles that can be easily rubbed to dislodge limescale. Ensure the ball joint is free to move for optimal positioning.
