mira sport shower problem

[mangifee]

hello everyone, i have a mira sport shower in the house we have just moved into, it was working fine but suddenly it has started going cold and the low flow light illuminates, if i remove the shower head the shower works normally and as soon as i replace the shower head it goes cold with the light coming on again, there a, but that may just be me, i would love to know if this problem is repairable without spending lots of money on a plumber who is going to charge me £65.00 just to knock on my door

hi thank you for your reply, I think its about 8 years old, i will try a pic later, i will descale the head, it starts ok warms up lovely and then the low flow clicks on and then the water is cold, it doesnt cycle as far as i can tell

isolate the elecy/water supply.
remove cover.
on the left is where the water pipe go's into the inlet.
on the oppersite site is a black plastic nut, remove that it's the filter.
clean and replace.

Hi, thanks for the instructions, sorry for delay, was at work, I did as you explained but still the same, at first it was running brilliant and i thought it was sorted then was running hot and cold then a minute or 2 later it lit up low flow and went cold

was this with the shower head back on or off ?

how long did it run fine for ?

 

[mangifee]

When i ran it with the shower head off it was good, i put the shower head on and it went silly after about 20-30 seconds

ps i do appreciate your input

wondering if they would actually fit,
