Hi everyone, I have a mira electric shower that is a couple of years old. At certain times, it starts to make an absolute racket, at other times it's ok.
When it starts to make a racket, it seems that the water pressure isn't right and is varying.
Is this normal ?
Thanks

Hi. We had a similar problem, sounded like the water was boiling inside, when the shower was on and water pressure varying. It was under a 2 year warranty and a repairman came and changed most of the insides. 2 years later, the same happened again, so we sold the house . Well we moved so I don't know what happened

Thanks RCS for your reply. I phoned Mira yesterday and the person I spoke to said that most propably it was the flow valve assembly. Mira have their own engineers, but the price quoted for labour & vat was just too much.
Also, if most of the parts will need changing in the shower unit, I might aswell buy a new shower !
