Is it possible to make my shower hotter??

[Laurr456]

Hello

We got a new shower installed last year (Mira Miniluxe) and since then the temperature has never been hot enough for me esp in the winter.

Is it possible to turn the heat up?

We had a new boiler (combi) installed in November but this
made no difference.

The temperature of the water from the taps is scalding.

Thanks for any advice...I keep moaning to OH but it's not getting me anywhere

Check the inlet filters are clear of debris. The shower's max temperature can be adjusted by following the commissioning instructions in the manual, which is widely available online. And simple to do. Your installer should have checked the max temperature when it was put in.

Try resetting the max temp setting.
This done by adjusting the temp lever at the bottom.

Should all be in the instruction manual.

Thanks guys I'll have a look for the manual.

The level on the bottom is tuned to maximum and even when the flow is turned down or the smaller shower head is used, it makes no difference

Nope he definately didn't check with us when installing.

The level on the bottom is tuned to maximum

You turn the lever to max temp then remove the lever by removing the cap under the lever and there is a screw and turn the lever back slightly and refit lever, Then turn lever to max again and check the temp.

Depends on type of shower. If Mira electric showers Take the front cover of the shower off. On the inside on the cover, or on the circuit board, you may see something like that looks like a tiny clock, with a small slot to get a screwdriver into. Turn this clockwise to turn up the shower temp.

On termostatic showers, you wont have this option so its usually a case of adjusting temp on boiler.

Front cover??
Circuit board??

Front cover??

you dont seem too pleased? I suppose you advise customers to buy an expensive new shower, charge them through the roof to fit it, when their previous shower could have been adjusted to give hotter water, tsk tsk! you naughty boy

FFS. IronNaz is back.

And as usual, he doesn't have a fricking clue!

Try concentrating on that then, instead of giving half-arsed information on here.

The OP has a SHOWER MIXER not an ELECTRIC SHOWER.

I hope you're better at absorbing the information regarding your Gas Safe studies.
