    Practical, unfussy design and powerful showering experience are some of the common features in Mira Sports range. Mira Sports is one of the best selling showers in country and offers really powerful showering experience. After Installing you can enjoy powerful and invigorating showering experience with this powerful shower. Mira Sports have got subtle looks that blends with any bathroom decor. Plumber’s Favorite, the UK's most powerful electric shower from Mira is Mira Sport Max 10.8 KW.

    I can confirm how good these showers are, I have fitted a few for customers and they are very pleased with the results.

    for the energy conscious out there, we use one of these on the cold mode to pump solar heated (and/or gas heated) water into the shower, mixed via a TMV to shower temperature. We then use the electric heating mode as a back up.

    They do gobble energy when operating as a standard electric shower though.

    Interesting. All the showers I have looked at have a max feed temp of about 30C which I feel is too cold for the switch to Electric mode. Any chance of a diagram of how you have these set up? It may solve a problem for me.

    the max feed temp only applies if you're actually using the heating element. If you set it on the cold setting then there's no problem with the feed temperature - I believe this would apply to all electric showers.

    We've basically just got a seperate thermostatic mixing valve temperature controlled feed to the shower pump from the hot water tank, and just use this most of the time, only switching it to electric heat when the tank is cold (which is rare, so it's mostly a back up for the boiler breaking down etc).

    Technically it's probably not very health and safetied up because you could scald yourself if you put it on the hot setting when the tank was hot, but we've got no kids in the house or anything like that to worry about, and make sure any guests are fully briefed before using it.

    I can vouch for the Mira sports shower unit, mine is about 25 years old. A year or so ago it blew the RCD trip due to the elements pin holing and letting in water, which leads me to a valid criticism, the bottom centre screw that fixes the boiler and its earth should be stainless steel or brass because mine had rusted in. What should have been a 20 minute job turned into a 2 hour job as I had to fabricate an alternative earth point for the boiler.

    Ah I see now, the dial on the shower itself is set to cold so it just pumps. If you turn it to hot, that triggers the heating element. Ok Thanks.
