The Mira Element Thermostatic Mixer Shower in Chrome is designed for homeowners seeking a reliable, safe, and powerful showering experience with minimal fuss. Its key benefit is providing a consistent water temperature and strong flow, even at low pressures, thanks to Mira Magni-flo Technology. A potential caveat for some users might be the single-control operation, which is simple but offers less granular adjustment than dual-control systems. This concealed mixer shower features precise thermostatic control, enhanced safety with a maximum temperature stop, and TMV2 approval, making it suitable for families. It includes a four-mode handset and 1.25m hose, and is compatible with all water systems.

Mira Magni-flo Technology is a Mira innovation designed to deliver up to 3 times more flow than standard showers, even at very low water pressures as low as 0.1 bar. This ensures a powerful and invigorating shower experience.
Yes, the Mira Element is specifically designed to perform well on low-pressure systems, requiring a minimum flow rate of just 0.1 bar thanks to Mira Magni-flo Technology.
The shower incorporates thermostatic safety protection and a maximum temperature stop. The thermostatic control maintains a safe temperature, and the stop feature can be set to limit the hottest possible temperature, preventing scalding, especially important for families.
The Mira Element uses a single control for both on/off and temperature. While it offers excellent temperature stability, precise fine-tuning may be less granular compared to dual-control mixers. However, it reliably maintains your set temperature.
TMV2 approval means the shower has met rigorous testing standards set by the UK Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) for thermostatic mixing valves, confirming its safety and performance.
The Mira Element BIV Thermostatic Mixer Shower comes complete with the concealed valve, a four-mode style-matched handset, and a 1.25m shower hose.
The Mira Element Thermostatic Mixer Shower comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee from Mira.
Ensure the thermostatic cartridge is clean and free from limescale. Check for any blockages in the shower head or hose. Verify that water pressure is stable.
Check the shower head for limescale buildup and clean the nozzles. Inspect the 1.25m hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the water supply valves are fully open.
Ensure the temperature control is working correctly. If the issue persists, the thermostatic cartridge may need adjustment or replacement. Check the maximum temperature stop setting.
Verify that the water supply is on and that the control valve is in the 'on' position. Check for any blockages in the water inlets.
Setup: The Mira Element is a concealed mixer shower, meaning the main valve is installed within the wall. This typically requires professional installation to ensure proper water connections and a flush finish. Follow the detailed installation manual provided by Mira for correct pipework and sealing.
Compatibility: This shower is designed to work with all pressure systems and water supplies, including gravity-fed systems (minimum 0.1 bar flow rate required), high-pressure systems, and combi boilers. It is suitable for standard UK plumbing configurations.
