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:
- Cleaning: Wipe the chrome surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish.
- 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.
- 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.
