Thermostatic mixer shower lifetime.

[wedge69]

Hello,

I've got a Mira Miniduo (part of their compact range with 110mm pipe centres).

As a general question, what is the life time of thermostatic showers? Is it easy to get spares, or should the thing break do you have to resort to getting a new shower?

As a general question, what is the life time of thermostatic showers?

It depends on the hardness of your water and the temperature of your hot water.

Is it easy to get spares

For a Mira, yes.

Thanks Softus.

The installer left the manual for us, and I was quite impressed to see the various forms of help that Mira offer eg technical helpline.

I hope nothing will go wrong for a long time, but it's always nice to have reassurance.

IMHO, Mira is about the second best shower hardware manufacturer in the country, the best being Aqualisa. I don't see the point of buying a valve from anyone else, unless you need either a venturi valve, or something in an unusual style, or unless you want to buy a German valve.
