Mira 8 shower
Reply with quote Thanks

I have an old surface mounted Mira 8. Since we have had a combi boiler fitted 6 months ago, the hot water pressure has increased massively compared to the old tank fed system and the shower valve clunks when turned on and off.
I am told the Mira 8 will not last long under the new pressure (although I fitted a service pack 2 yrs ago).
Can I do anything to prolong it's life, or is there anything I can directly replace it with without disturbing the tiling?

Pressure reducing valve.

No forget that its toooooo obvious.

For what its worth if you read the manufacturers instructions it says.

Hot and Cold supplies must originate from a cold water cistern and NOT directly from the cold water mains.

But they was written 25 years ago.
