update: mine seems to have gotten a bit better, as i've been using it regularly since i last posted. now it seems to squeal as soon as you switch it on, but then after 5-10 seconds, as the water warms up, the squeal diminishes and sometimes totally disappears, or if it doesn't, i just have...

Update - what I did last night didn't help at all. I had a shower this morning, and the whining was just as bad as before. Grrrrrrr!

I just tried this. I ran it for about 5 minutes altogether, no head, the hose in the bath. I did on low, medium and high, and went all the way from cold to hot on each several times, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly. It didn't completely get rid of the whine, but it does seem it's a...

Hi Tim, did they say what setting to do this on (High, Med, or Low)? Also, do you take all 3-4 minutes to move the temp from cold to hot and back, or do it several times in 3-4 minutes, or just once... Sorry for asking about all these details, but I want to do this right. Cheers and good luck...

thanks for your input hi-spec. :)

ok, i'll give this trick recommended by mira a go this evening - fingers crossed that will get rid of it.

yes, i bought it off ebay from a guy who says he bought it in error and had never taken it out of the box. it did look and feel brand new, both on the inside and the outside, although i did notice a few droplets of water come out of it as i was handling it... is this normal (presumably they get...

oh, ok. is the inner diameter of the copper pipe 15mm? i guess i could go somewhere and have two pieces cut for me, then buy an elbow joining thingy, do you think that would be better?

you're probably right, the diameter of the inner bore might be smaller - so what is the correct inner bore diameter then?

umm, don't remember, but i bought it in B&Q, and the nuts on both end fit with the mains outlet, and shower inlet perfectly. i think it was 15mm, but i can check when i get home.

thanks for the reply and those tips, i'll give that a go tonight, fingers crossed! the hose isn't kinked, although, when i was installing it, it did kink at one point, but i "un-kinked" it... but i'm not sure if that one "kinking" could've permanently damaged it??

Intriguing! :? Please do!

I installed this shower myself the other day (all the plumbing and electrics were already in place, I just bought a flexible hose to join the mains water outlet with the shower inlet, as it was positioned differently in the previous installation), and while the shower works fine, it produces an...

what's concerning me is that i'd like to avoid the situation where i go and bite the bullet and buy a, say, mira sport, bring it home, and find i can't do the job (after a lot of sweating, swearing and cursing). :shock: and i think it's very hard, or impossible, to know in advance how...

hi, sorry, didn't mean to do a "no goer"... who/where did i ask someone to guess something? i'm sure there are plenty of people here with far more experience than me, who could give me an educated opinion, possibly even from first-hand experience, how difficult/easy it is to adapt the...

hi, thanks for the suggestions. would anybody know how complicated a job would it be to adapt my existing installation, mainly the water inlet, to work with Mira units? basically, i'd like to do this myself, if at all possible. i'm pretty good with my hands, but haven't got much...

has anyone got any recommendations? thanks.
