mira electric shower , no water coming out of the shower

cmelbourne · 12 Jun 2005

I have a mire elite 2 electric shower that has been installed for about 8 months now,

yesterday the water was cut off and the electric shower was turned on by mistake for about 2-3 seconds. The water is now back to the house but when i turn on the electric shower no water is coming out of the shower head, i have tried cleaning the shower head itself but still nothing, the electrics are fine and the rest of the taps all work.

does anyone have any ideas ????????????????

If water was turned off (especially if off from water main in street) it is possible that debris (from water main or disintegrating tap washer) has come through and blocked inlet filter of shower.

It is fairly easy to check inlet filter (just above inlet elbow, I think), but only by a competent person who understands the dangers of working on electric showers!

prob is DIA he aint sick of hearing all this thou shall be competant lark its all cobblers (got that past the mod)

So Kevplumb is objecting to me qualifying my advice by saying that only a competent person should carry out such work? - If I've undestood correctly.

I know it sounds boring and bureaucratic, but we've no way of knowing the level of competence of the person being given advice. And when it comes to electric showers, for example, I think we have to be very careful about being seen to encourage DIY work. All it takes is for someone to forget to isolate the electrics before taking off the cover...

fair point but where are you going to draw the line chris

ie dont do anything in case the house is flooded
this is a diy forum

chrishutt · 12 Jun 2005

Drawing lines is always difficult, and we each have to make our own decisions and live with the consequences. Personally I wouldn't want someone's death on my conscience, for want of a few words of warning.

I'm not against DIY, far from it. I started out as a DIYer, gradually becoming more professional, but I did some hairy things with gas and electricity in my early days that I wouldn't want to make public today.

I hope you will bear with me, Kevplumb, if I play it safe and put the occasional warning about competence in my advice.
