Switch off the power supply to the shower at the consumer unit, it will probably have its own individual circuit breaker as it is such a heavy user of power. Try now to switch the shower, it should be dead and that is good. Remove the control knobs and remove the front of the shower unit. Check the electrics with an electrical screw driver to make sure that there is nothing that will cause electrocution. Trace the source of the leak, the most likely place is the compression joint to the mains water pipe. Tighten the compression nut until the dripping stops. Dry everything off with a paper towel and check there is no sign of further leaking. Reassemble the front with the knobs and switch the power back on.

Water dripping from the Shower Head of a Mira Elite QT when unit is off

It sounds like you may have a problem with the internal plumbing of your shower unit. The filter at the bottom of the unit may be clogged, or there may be a problem with the valve that controls the flow of water to the shower head.
To troubleshoot this issue, you could try the following steps:
  1. Check the filter at the bottom of the unit for any debris or clogs. If the filter is dirty, clean it out and see if that helps stop the dripping.
  2. If the filter is clean, try shutting off the water supply to the shower and then opening the valve that controls the flow of water to the shower head. This will allow any excess water to drain out of the unit.
  3. If the dripping persists after these steps, it may be necessary to call a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem. It's possible that there is a problem with the internal plumbing of the unit that will require professional repair.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I have a Mira sport shower it works but dose not get hot is it the thermastate that's gone I have had it for about 12 years

The thermostatic cartridge is the part of the shower valve which control's the temperature of the water, therefore if there is a problem with the water temperature, the absolute probability points towards the thermostatic cartridge being at fault.

I would suggest you extract the thermostatic cartridge, remove any bits blocking water flow into the cartridge and then soak it in limescale remover. Put silicone grease on the O'rings. Install it again. If that doesn't work, the element within the cartridge could be faulty, so you could try replacing the element. If that doesn't work you will have to either replace the entire shower valve or replace the cartridge.

All of what I've said is based on the assumption that you are receiving hot water to your shower valve.

I've been working with thermostatic cartridge for many years and can tell you with confidence the above information likely applies to yourself. Shower Thermostatic Cartridge Spares

Mira Sport shower running luke warm

Your hot water must come from your coil in boiler and not from a seperate hot water heater - more then likely furnace hasn't been on for heating your house nor has it been on for any draw of hot water. You have to wait till it goes on and brings the water temperature up to your setting or get a hot water tank put in or a new type wall mounted gas instant hot water unit.

My Mira Advance shower is constantly dripping when in the off position. This is getting progressively worse, does anybody know whether this will be an easy repair.

Think you will find its the flow valve inside the shower is not shutting correctly so letting by some water.

Shower goes hot and cold

If you are having trouble only at the one fixture (shower), and no where else, the problem is most likely in the shower valve...which either needs new cartridges, or a complete replacement.

Installing a Mixer Shower from a Combi Boiler.

hi there, your boiler will perfectly match the mira excel ( a great choice i might add) a 24cdi will give about 9.8 litres a minute flow rate hot water.
The mira excel is suitable for any plumbing set up and there installation instruction are very well laid out & their helpline is fantastic.
The hot water will fluctuate accordingly to the time of year as the cold water temp coming into the property will vary. but the boiler will modulate to compensate.So in brief in the summer you will notice it hotter than you would in the winter, this has nothing to do with the boiler just the incoming temp of the cold water.

Kindly
