Just bought this unit and thankfully found your video. Was a bit concerned with the connection to the bar and diverter valve but you showed me the way. Many thanks !!!!!

Had a reet laugh fitting this. Doing a video about the Showerwall in a week or two. Wanted to get this one out first!

@paulw4904 5 лет назад

17:12 Mira do not recommend using both heads at the same time!!! Fast forward James in the shower excited that “you can even have it on both guys! 😂

Great detailed video as usual. Not sure about the shower wall panels though as the pattern design is the same and you can clearly see the repeat. Would've been nice if the manufacturer could produce several designs for a better look. Cheers

@sanra6124 Месяц назад

Any trick at 12:23 please? For whatever reason, I am unable to push that bottom pip as instruction until the line is hidden. It prevents me to go ahead for finalizing the install of the dual system. Basically when I try to push it it just fit but doesn't get stuck or whatsoever so that'd be guaranteed leak until i find out how to fit this pipe. Thank you.

@philelson113 6 месяцев назад

Hi James, love your videos, been really helpful over the years! I have just installed this Shower Unit but I'm struggling with the small riser piece that fits in to the diverter. It says insert until line is hidden but I can't seem to push it in hard enough, it still feels loose. Any suggestions?

@djevil247 3 года назад

As an electrician, your incoming power cable size must be capable of carrying the correct current. The size in the demonstration is perfect, as this is a very high power shower. As stated, get a qualified competent electrician to check the size of your cable to make sure it’s correct, if not, you WILL need to reinstall the correct size. Great video

Hi Paul... valuable point as my switch board keeping tripping off, any recommendations? Thanks in advance

@djevil247 2 года назад

@@luisbaessa7682 hey there. If your board is tripping shortly after starting up (within 1-2mins) then your breaker isn’t at the correct rating. What size is your breaker (amps, ie 20/32/40), and what size is your shower, 8.5/9.5/10 kwt? I can do the calculations for you and let you know.

@luisbaessa7682 2 года назад

@@djevil247 massive thank you for your reply, so my breaker is nsb32 and my shower is 10.8kwts thanks

@djevil247 2 года назад

@@luisbaessa7682 No worries at all. That’s the reason your tripping the electrics. Your breaker is to small and requires an upgrade to a 40/50 amp breaker. But the most important part is that you require a 10mm cable from your consumer unit to your shower. If this is anything less then 10mm, you’ll burn out the cable and potentially cause a fire so please book an electrician and get it checked out buddy. Hope this helps. Any other problems, then please feel free to contact me again. Have a wonderful Christmas either way my friend.

@BritishBoy1971 5 лет назад

I used one of these showers for the first time, several weeks ago, up in Scotland and I really liked it. I hate the fixed shower head type showers you find in some hotels and campsites, as it's difficult to wash and rinse your balls etc, so having a 'hand set' shower head is really useful. Another great video, thank you for your time and patience for putting it all together. Cheers!

@getbry7452 5 лет назад

Thanks for this video, mate. Never seen this model of Mira before so it's good to see one in action. I assume you need a 40amp RCB at the consumer unit for a 10mm supply.

@TTT-Turbo Год назад

Are these any good and can the pole be cut so that the max height is 2.1m because this is for an ensuite in a dormer. Or what's the best electric shower out there right now with best pressure. Especially when it gets freezing outside you need to crank the heat up and it gets slower obviously. I have the old 10.5kw mira sport but put the stone stream shower head on and I've now gone through 2 thermal switches since doing that. I'm renewing the whole ensuite in March so looking for the best 1. Thanks in advance. Ian

@phasedout6769 5 лет назад

Mira's are always always a pleasure to fit. Never had an issue with them.

@loafersheffield 5 лет назад

Extra grub screws? Big bonus...big, BIG.. bonus. Potable water off mains to an electrical heater. Do the install notes state requirement of a check valve directly after/off the cold water tee?

@loafersheffield 5 лет назад

p.s. installing a shower over a bath...? grub screws....? PUT THE PLUG IN THE BATH! Just in case (GULP!)

@laringtonthefirst 5 лет назад

Never install a check valve onto a supply to an electric shower unless you also install a mini expansion vessel between said check valve and shower.

@loafersheffield 5 лет назад

Glad you said that. I was being deliberately provocative (devils advocate) I've been having this debate with an external auditing and testing organisation who issue water safe certs to a Co. that I sub-contract to. I have to do the monthly internal auditing and recording, they issue the annual certs after inspection. The Co. need the certs for insurance purposes. They couldn't even be arsed moving some suspended ceiling panels to inspect whether check valves were installed when the building went up 35 years ago. It was noted in their report 14 months ago. I x2 checked, found em and installed mini exp vessels in addition to their recs. I took them up on this omission and they got shitty with me. They actually turned the immersion stats up to 70 degs out of spite IMO. Took me an age to sort out the "goldilocks" zone min 50/ max 60 degs on all draw off points even tho a sentinel circ system is running, it was a right pain. They even chastised me for the cw recording points even tho those that I omitted were actually off mains, used daily and not tank supplies.

@fatimahabib4299 2 года назад

i wanted to ask, i love the way this looks! i can the complete mira system, with the pump drain etc but the shower unit is mira advance , it looks horrible, the shower heads tiny, its a nightmare. can this be fitted instead and would it work with the drainage system?

@andyjames7111 Год назад

very good video but i think you missed securing the grubscrew that holds the riser bar to the top backplate its not a spare in the pack , also dont use silicone (i think you used mastic which is better) inside the casing and then fit the cover as acetic acid is produced in the curing process of silicone that makes showers rust internally as it strips the coatings , and a question below about siliconing around the outer case ,dont as it causes the shower to sweat inside it needs a bit of air to circulate

@davidw717 Год назад

Was worried about the rod that also just 'sits' in the hole but seeing your video hopefully it'll be alright when I come to install it tomorrow.

@Participant616 2 года назад

With electric showers it's a question of which is the least shit. None of them are good and should never be installed, unless the alternative is a watering can.

Hey there!! I have an old Gainsborough electric shower unit that I want to change for a concealed unit to use with a new bath. We have a Combi boiler and the water flow drops throughout the house, so any advice on the type of shower kit/combo-kit to go for that can replace the upstairs electric shower?

@tonymoo112 2 года назад

Brilliant video just one question on the two heads install,with the Mira Shower cabinet mounted so far below the shower head how do you water proof the the electrical components ? which are inevitably going to have water sprayed onto or is the cabinet already waterproof or is there an longer version of that short hose that connects to the shower cabinet to enable you to mount your shower cabinet to say approx 18 inches from your cealing.

@1414141x 4 года назад

Surprised you did not run water through the 15mm cold supply before fitting the shower. It's good practice to do this because if it's a new supply or an old one debris can accummulate and if it's not run out it can get inside the shower unit.
