Shower Control Problems?

Hi, we have a Mira shower which I think is an Excel 1 (the front cover is missing and this is etched inside the rim) and when you turn the control knob the water doesn't start running until it reaches numbber 5 on the dial. At this point the water temp is quite hot. Cany you recommend a course of action please? Many thanks Neil

Hi

 

If you have problems with an Excel then it's best just to replace the cartridge, however it is probably worth stripping the cartridge out and checking that the inlet filters are clean, before buying a new cartridge.

 

 

Turn off hot and cold water supply

 Pull front temperature knob off The rest of the knob assy. just unclips

 Remove 4 screws that hold cartridge into body

  Pull old cartridge forward shouldn't be too tight

 Set new cartridge for High/Low pressure (instructions with cartridge)

 Slip new cartridge into place remember to check that the new seals are all in place (and don't drop out as you push back)

 Tighten screws be careful not to over tighten

 Refit knobs.

 Turn on water and test. (Occasionally you will have to reset the cartridge temperature, instructions with cartridge)

 

Easy peasy!!!!

 

 

Cartridge   Mira 903.33  This cartridge supersedes the previous high and low pressure versions
