essentials shower mira technology - replacement

[AndyJay]

Hi All...
Our 'essentials shower (mira technology) it almost at the end of it's life.
I remember a couple of years ago, seeing similar showers from the same manufacturer where you could replace our model of shower with another one without having to make any new pipework or wiring.
Im sure i read that you simply removed your old one and fitted the new one with no hassle.
Does anyone have any info on this?
Thanks in advance
Andy

I stuck a Mira sport in place of one of these seem to remember it was easy.

Thanks tackleburger -
It's been some time since i posted this question, simply because the shower started to beahive itself again, up until now
I've looked at the installation guide for the shower you mentioned (Mira Sport), but it looks like the water inlet and wiring are in different places.
I need a replacement shower with exactly the same water inlet and wiring placements. I don't want to have to mess about with changing this.
I'm sure i read somewhere that there are showers from the same manufaturer that simply fit exactly the same as our old one ('essentials shower (mira technology)).
Hope i'm right on this and someone can advise.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks again tackleburger

I have the same problem with our old essentials shower. Just bought a new Mira Play 9.5 Kw, but unfortunately the inlet and power connections are the different way round.

Does anyone now of a replacement shower which has inlet at top of unit, with wiring at bottom?

mcleodbz Did you find a suitable replacement?
If so which one was it.

My Mira Essentials completely packed up a while back and i'm looking for an easy replacement with same connection placement etc...

Thanks

Andy

you won't find an exact replacement thats an old mira with a pilot valve entry at the top.

all later miras have entry at the bottom wiring above.
