The water never got hot at any time although I didn't run it for very long, no more than a minute at each setting
The flow was so poor that I knew something was not right and I was concerned about making it worse. This was just before I removed the shower from the wall to check the flow through the pipe work on its own which was very good

The mira play is a good shower not seen a vista i'll have a look.
Did you fit the pipework for this shower ?
Something tells me its not on the mains supply.

Mira vista is the same as a play just that the play has a seperate start/stop button and the vista has start/stop on the top setting dial.
Internals all the same basically.

Good call
Don't mess about do I.if I Fook up I don't do it by half
Back in the loft tomorrow to change the supply from tanked to mains
So after all that shower may be ok and the fault is the pillock that fitted it

Yep. There's 2 25 gallon tanks linked in the loft above
God knows what I was thinking. Fortunately the mains supply is only a metre away.does that explain the non performance?
How did you figure that out

Terence you do give me a laugh.
The problem with the head dripping gave me a clue but then you said it never got hot at all gave it away.
As you know with reduced flow even on 1 that should of been hot right round to 10.
But of cause you got no mains pressure to activate the pressure switch now thats why your head is dripping you need at least 0.2 bar roughly to hold the diaphragm shut when shower is off otherwise the diaphragm will let water past.
Now see you tomorrow with a good ending.

Plumbgas this photo shows the opposite corner with a balanced cut. However I don't have a photo of the full wall but the window is off centre and the cuts either side are not balanced. Something had to give,
