Does your budget stretch to using Google?

It will be worse than a simple shower mixer because it has to go through a more restricted path. It's always better to fit a pump with gravity systems.. Generally, with gravity fed systems it is not the distance from the boiler, it is the depth below the expansion tank in the loft (usually).
With vented or non-vented pressure systems, unless there is something wrong with your system then the hot water should be delivered at mains pressure so you shouldn't have any difficulty fitting a thermostatic shower mixer anywhere.

woooshh !!

This shower will be fine for 0.2bar, unlike most other brands Mira design their own product for low pressure performance, may look similar but others buy off the shelf from China!

The select will blind the one posted mate ..definitely .

Deaf cassette
Yes I have 2 x selects running off the megaflo and honest they are like strong hotel showers . Can't fault them . Had them 5 years and still beating strong

Hello Plattsy,

I e just had a look at the Mira Select, and it looks very tasty indeed..would this be easily fitted traight to a megaflo invented system?

I'm also looking for someone to do the job. In West Sussex. Removal of power shower, installation of Mira Select, and tiling.

I completely agree; I wish the plumbers who plumbed my (brand new at the time) house had done this! I guess they must have saved a few pennies by not doing it that way.

Can you run a power shower pump through a thermostatic mixer? Thanks.

is this chrome plated or proper stainless steel or brassl?

reason I ask is because chrome plated just feels very flimsy and I would worry about its durability compared against more tougher materials such as steel.

what are people's experience with chrome plated items for bathrooms?

I got a Mira power shower fitted last year and it's the best money I've spent on our house. We keep the flow rate at 3.

Even though I work for a gravity pump manufacturer I have a fairly new build house with unvented system and have Mira select showers in my ensuites and being honest they have cracking flow rates and sometimes when I stay in a hotel with eleccy showers I find them like a trickle and wish I was in my own shower back home .

Not cheap but the technology inside is far better than the 39 pound specials .Not being snobby but you do get what you pay for in the internals and Branded manufacturers build and develop products constantly !

Remember flow and pressure are different too !

If you have mains pressure hot water ie Unvented Cylinder have look at mains water feed to house
If its 15 mm (lot are) at stopcock then your never going to get really good flow rate
Only way to good flow is gravity feed tank and pump with 22 mm pipe work
You will empty cold tank faster than it fills so need large tank

I work for salamander pumps , we do gravity fed pumps for showers and whole house such as basin/bath taps because from a traditional vented copper cylinder, traditionally the pressure is poor .
A centrifugal type pump is always the best performance in water delivery and the quietest in operation -however the cost is a little more than the cheaper regenerative version.

Some foreign valves are really restrictive and there is not enough flow to activate the flow switches so we advise a universal type pump (negative head)
Or if the shower head is between 600mm and less to the bottom of the cold water tank.

The Mira shower will be better than some of the real lo cost bar showers on the market .Mira are good for spares and the non shiny things inside the valve such as seals o rings etc you never see when the thing packs in 5 years down the line!

I have a combo boiler in my garage, with two electric showers upstairs. Can I replace both the electrics with two of these?

I was looking at this earlier today. Looked s good price https://www.wayfair.co.uk/Mayfair-Brassware-Showerhead-MTSS1000.html

Got one :-) quite nice thing must admit

Interesting that the Q&A section indicates that you would get 3 to 4 l/min with 0.1 Bar, not 10.2 as specified.

I think it's unlikely that this would work well with a mixed low-pressure system. I haven't tried that model but I have tried a similar thermostatic bar shower as a replacement for my system, probably about 0.2 Bar of hot water pressure and mains cold pressure. It didn't work; basically you wouldn't get any flow at all.

I did find that a replacement that looked similar to the original which was a pressure balancing valve worked OK though. It also had adjustable "arms" and I was able to line it up precisely with the existing holes.

I figured the cost of me mucking it up in the first place was probably equivalent to the cost of getting a plumber out in the first place, but the benefit was that I gained some knowledge, so if it goes again, I know what I need to do to fix it again.

I get about:blank when I click on "Get Deal" button. Any suggestions? I find this happens a lot now on here/

I need a mixer tap for my kitchen any good deals out there on a budget here

Both need to get a life and use Google like everyone else, lazy pair of oiks!

Squirt

That's fine, there should be no problem at all

They are both attached to a water pump.

Can I use it on my bath tap?

Splash!!!!

woooshh !!

There are plenty of cheaper packages around.
Is it the flow rate that makes this one special?

Why you telling me look for it yourself try google or cal the local plumber

Thanks. I'm hoping I don't need it. A plumber is quoting £60 just to fit the new one (I already have thermostatic mixer bar, but it needs to be replaced).

hi all, does anyone know if this can be fitted after the tiles have been placed down with just the pipes sticking out or does there need to be fittings added behind the tiles before the tiling is done? can't find the installation instructions!

This is a good guide

Personally I got the one above, but there are similiar Ines on eBay and Amazon from £5, the only one where adjustment is available is the Mira kit, £20 @ screwfix, if pipework is slightly wrong, maybe 153mm centres instead of 150mm then the Mira allows adjustment horizontally only......

Thanks. Anyone know a good deal for a kit?

Thanks for this

Got this the other week and had to return it, it doesn't say on the website, but you'll need 20mm pipes out the wall, and the one I'm replacing is 15mm, and I couldn't be arsed with doing all the extra work involved to change them to 20mm.
Hot for what it is when you compare to others and output/brand etc.

Thank you for the detailed information.

Wouldn't you need good water pressure from the boiler for 10.2/min.
My boiler is three average sized rooms away from my shower, would you require a pump?

excellent brand, nice find.

Oops! Will amend. Lol. Thanks

10.2l/hour that's not allot to be honest...:stuck_out_tongue: could get the same pouring water from a bucket..

think u mean 10.2l/min.
