Mixer Showers

Mixers showers use water from both your hot and cold supplies then mix it to create your perfect temperature.They’re ideal if you have lots of hot water on tap and, if you have a high pressure system, a mixer shower should give you a more powerful flow than an electric one. On the other hand, if you have a low pressure system, you can boost the flow by adding a booster pump. 

Magni-Flo™ technology

The majority of Mira mixer showers come with Magni-Flo™ technology built in. Magni-Flo™ gives up to 3 times more flow than similar mixer showers even at low pressure*.So you can have the ultimate shower spray experience.*When tested under identical conditions against a range of similar mixers at 0.1 barpressure, which is normal in homes with low pressure. Results show that mixers withMagni-Flo™ can give up to 3 times more flow than mixers from other shower companies.

Which temperature control?

Mixer showers have 3 different types of temperature control:

Manual – your shower will not compensate for changes in the incoming supply temperature or pressure and the shower temperature may change.

Pressure balancing – if you have a pressure balancing mixer, it will compensate for any change in water pressure and give you a constant showering temperature, provided the supply temperature remains constant.

Thermostatic – a thermostat constantly monitors the incoming water temperature and makes adjustments to keep the temperature constant. Thermostatic controls give you great temperature control and are ideal for people who are at risk such as the very young or elderly.

Electric Showers

Electric showers use water from your mains cold water supply only, so the chances are an electric shower would suit your home.They heat the water when you turn the shower on, passing it over a built-in heating element - similar to how a kettle works.

One reason to choose an electric shower is that it won’t use up any of your stored hot water. So, if you have a limited supply of stored hot water, or you want to use it for something else, like a bath perhaps, an electric shower really makes sense. It’s also ready to use any time of day or night.

Which temperature control?

Electric showers can come with different types of temperature control:

Pressure stabilised – minimises temperature changes to ensure a consistent showering temperature, even if someone flushes the loo.

Advanced pressure stabilised – these showers control your showering temperature in a similar way to pressure stabilized models, but they also feature Opti-flo™ technology which gives you a wider selectable flow rate range. This means you can enjoy the full power of the shower even in the summer months when the incoming water temperature is higher.

Thermostatic – ensures that the temperature always stays to within +/-2 degrees, a safety feature that makes these showers ideal for those who have young or elderly family members.

Power Showers

Nothing beats the exhilaration of standing under a truly drenching flow of cleansing water. Power Showers come with an internal pump to boost the flow and give you a shower that delivers this stunning experience every single time.

Power Showers mix water from both your hot and cold supplies to give you your ideal temperature. If you’ve got a plentiful supply of hot water in your home, a power shower could be ideal.

Which temperature control?

There are 2 different types of temperature control available with power showers. Simplychoose the one that you’d be happiest with:

Manual – your shower will not compensate for changes in the incoming supply temperature or pressure and the shower temperature may change.
Thermostatic – gives you great temperature control and are ideal for people who are at risk such as the very young or elderly.
