The Mira Eco Showerhead can be used in conjunction with power showers and mixer showers. If your shower is not listed below please contact us with the make and type of your shower and we'll let you know.
POWER SHOWERS
The Mira Eco Showerhead is SUITABLE for Power Showers including but not limited to;
Mira Event, Mira Event XS, Mira Excel, Mira Extreme, Mira Vigour, Trevi CTV, Triton Aqua Sensation, Triton AS 2000 XT.
MIXER SHOWERS
The Mira Eco Showerhead is SUITABLE for Mixer Showers ONLY if your shower is fed with a minimum maintained water pressure of 0.5 bar (see "Will a Mira Eco showerhead work with my water system?" below)
The Mira Eco Shower head can be used with mixer showers, but the mixer shower must be fed with a minimum maintained water pressure of 0.5 bar (see "Will a Mira Eco showerhead work with my water system?" below). If not, the Mira Eco Showerhead will fail to aerate the delivered water.
Including but not limited to these showers;
Mira Select, Mira 415, Trevi CTV.
Mixer Showers fed from a Combination Boiler - SUITABLE IF THE COMBI BOILER IS MODERN AND ACTIVATED AT A LOW FLOW RATE
Not suitable for early models of combi-boilers for the following reason:
Combination boilers have a minimum output flow rate required in order for the boiler to remain ignited. If the output flow is restricted and the minimum requirement not achieved, the boiler will shut down it's integral gas valve via the "high limit thermostat". Once the heated water has passed through the boiler, the high limit thermostat will reset, allowing the gas valve to open and the boiler to reignite. However, the period of time between the gas valve being closed and allowed to open again means a "cool shot" of water is present in the system as the boiler has been inactive. Subsequently, the water discharged from the showerhead cycles hot/cold continually.
ELECTRIC SHOWERS - NOT SUITABLE
The Mira Eco Shower head should not be used in conjunction with an electric shower. To do so will impact upon the electric shower's ability to heat the cold water with which it is fed, and will result in the failure of the shower's internal components.
Mira Sport, Mira Vie, Mira Mini Duo & Eco, Mira Essentials 8.6kW, Mira Elite ST, Mira Orbis, Mira Advance, Mira Escape, Mira Thermostatic, Mira Orbis, Triton T200RE, Aqualisa Quartz.
Will a Mira Eco showerhead work with my water system?
Mira's Eco showerhead is compatible with the following water systems:
Do I have to replace the whole shower or is it just the showerhead that I change?
As long as you are using the Eco showerhead with the right water system (gravity-fed 0.5 and above, mains pressure systems or pumped systems not with electric showers) then you simply take off the old showerhead and put the new one on.
The Mira Eco showerhead's universal design means it should be compatible with all shower brands. You do not have to have a Mira shower to have a Mira Eco showerhead.
However, you must ensure that you select the right showerhead option ie. if you have an exposed hose you will need the Mira Eco adjustable handset (available in white or chrome) but if your hose is concealed behind the wall then you will need the Eco BIR (Built-In-Rigid) fixed head (available in white or chrome).
The Mira Eco showerhead's sleek and elegant design will compliment all existing shower styles, so saving water does not have to be expensive as it is only the showerhead that you need to change.
Please note, Savewatersavemoney has not tested this showerhead with all manufacturers products. Savewatersavemoney does not accept liability should the Mira Eco Showerhead be unsuitable for your shower.

What measures are Mira taking to help the environment?
Mira is committed to minimising its impact on the environment and follow our parent company Kohler's thorough set of environmental guidelines. By conserving energy, recycling and acting responsibly, we do all we can to reduce our carbon footprint.
Many of Mira's products now meet the criteria for the BMA's Water Efficiency Scheme and use the BMA's logo to help consumers identify them and make a more informed choice.
How does the Mira Eco showerhead work?
The Mira Eco showerhead works by using EcofficientTM technology, which is based on the Venturi principle.
The Venturi creates pressure which speeds up the water and forces air to be sucked in from the spray plate. Air is then mixed with water to create larger droplets filled with air bubbles (just like agricultural crop sprayers). The droplets explode on impact and produce similar coverage to conventional sprays.
The result is that the user feels more water on the body but uses less.
Does the Mira Eco showerhead have WRAS approval?
Yes.
What guarantee does the Mira showerhead come with?
The Mira Eco showerhead comes with a one year guarantee and WRAS approval.
Will a Mira Eco showerhead really save me money?

Will I still get good, powerful showers with a water saving showerhead?
Yes! Choosing a Mira Eco showerhead does not mean you have to compromise on shower performance as Mora's pioneering technology ensures a great showering experience every time. In fact yuou can choose btween three different spray modes to meet your shower needs.

Will using an aerated showerhead affect the pressure of my shower? If anything, my current is too weak.
If your pressure is too weak, then the Mira Eco showerhead will make it weaker. No manufacturers' water saving showers will boost flow rate unless they have been attached to a pump in some form. i.e. Power Shower or a dedicated separate Shower Pump.
Can I reduce the water flow using you water saving showerheads? If so, then by how much can the water flow be reduced?
The fixed and handheld water efficient showerheads we stock allow you to reduce the flow to a miximum of 7 to 8 litres at 80psi water supply.
I have 5 bathrooms all with showers from a centrally pumped system. Will the Mira Eco showerhead be OK?
Yes. The Mira Eco showerhead will work very well on this system.
Can I return the Mira Eco Showerhead if I find it is unsuitable for my system?
Yes, you can return the product for a full refund if the product is unused and returned in a resaleable condition. In the event of a used return we will deduct an admin fee of £2 on the price paid.
