Mira SPort Shower - identify this one?

[stu550]

My electric shower in our holiday rental keeps tripping out and needs replacing. I will probably just replace it with the same. I took a photo of it with the cover off, but forgot to take one with the cover on so I can ask out plumber for a price without him having to go out.

Can anyone advise which Mira Sport this is? Is the 9 for 9kw?

Oh, forgot to ask... I was only going to repalce it with the same to make swapping it simple.

Is there any other recommended shower out there that would fit in place without casuing damage to the tiles and be a straighforward swap for our plumber?

Thanks.

Very few things changed on the sport.
That can be from 1998 slight changes was made on the 2006 model until to 2011 model came out.

All sports will be a direct replacement ie water/elecy but just on the 2011 model/multi fit the screw holes on the back plate are different.

Thanks for the quick response. Are you saying this model could be from about 1998? We had a new bathroom around 7 years ago so thats when it was replaced. Not sure if it would be a 2006 model.

Are the 2011 models the newest ones?

Is it a straighforward swap then with regards the pipework?

As i said little changed on the sport over the yrs.
Look at the on/off button on cover.
If it is oval then it's a 1998 onwards then 2006 the button changed to a triangle shape.

2011 onwards the sport totally changed and became more curved than the earlier models.

Pipework/elecy on l/hand side on all models.
pipework/elecy can be l/hand or r/hand on the 2011 multifit model onwards.

Look at the serial number on the sticker on the top of the main unit.

The button is oval so it looks like its a 1998 onwards but before 2006.

It looks just like http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/mira-sp..._medium%3DGB%26utm_campaign%3DGoogleBase[url]

Is this therefore an 'old' model hence it being much cheaper than the other Mira Sports where the casing looks to be more rectangular?

Thats a 2006 model.

The button is more like a triangle.
The 1998 model the button is a oval shape.

Apologies for the delay... it's a 2006 model with a triangular button.

It is worth paying a premium for the 2011 model over the current 2006 one as the 2006 seems to be a lot cheaper?

Is the 2011 a simple swap for a 2006?

Thanks
