Hi

I have a Mira Excel Post 1996 mixer shower. It has been in our house for over 4 years.

Over the course of the four years, we have noticed that sometimes the shower pressure is sometimes lower than normal and sometimes the shower has been stiff to switch on.

Today, my OH had a shower today and I went to get in and nothing, no water. I tightened the inside screw as I thought it was loose, shower switched on and it was stone cold. So I switched on and off again and the knob just turned and no water. It was as if the teeth had warn inside.

Opened tonight and teeth on both the knob and the black mixer cartridge appear fine, although two black clips broke off.

Tried manually turning the cartridge and still no water.

My thoughts are that the cartdridge has gone, but as we have an unvented system, I am concerned that it could also be the shower pump, but how can i tell?
 
You have had a great life out of the product if it is 96 (15 years)
If you phone Mira, the technical team is fab. They will give you the part details. And if you did want to upgrade. They will give you an easy bolt on replacement

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...

Hi, Later this year I am going away for a 2 week holiday and as the weather will be warm there is no need for the heating to be on and arguably no need for me to needlessly heat hot water. My intention was to turn the boiler off along with the mains water when going away. Now, I have heard...
