Discover Mira power showers
Mira is the name most people reach for when they want a power shower, and for good reason: it is the UK's best-known shower brand, with a range of pumped units built for homes with low, gravity-fed water pressure. Whether you are choosing your first power shower or replacing an old Mira, this is the place to start. Before you buy, there is one quick check to make, your water system, and then it comes down to the model and controls you want. Here is the range, how to confirm it suits your home, and where to find Mira spares and replacements.
The Mira power shower range
Mira's power showers are plumbed-in, pumped units, not portable kits, and they come with different controls to suit how you like to shower. Manual pumped models boost a weak gravity feed to a strong, steady spray, with the flow and temperature set by hand. Thermostatic models add temperature stability, holding your set temperature even when a tap runs elsewhere, and a maximum-temperature stop for safety. Across the range you will find single fixed heads and dual-outlet versions with a handset, in chrome and white-and-chrome finishes. Here is the range at a glance:
| Type | Controls | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Manual pumped | Set flow and temperature by hand | A simple, forceful everyday shower |
| Thermostatic | Holds a stable temperature, max-temp stop | Families and anyone wanting steady, safe heat |
| Dual-outlet | Fixed head plus a handset | Rinsing, washing hair, a shower over a bath |
Exact models and finishes change, and Mira uses similar names across its power and electric ranges, so check each product is a pumped power shower and is in stock before you buy. Specifications such as flow rate vary by model, so confirm them on the product page.
Will a Mira suit your system?
Like all power showers, a Mira needs a gravity-fed system: a cold-water tank, usually in the loft, and a hot-water cylinder. The built-in pump boosts that stored water to a forceful flow. If you have a combi boiler or high-pressure mains, a power shower is usually not suitable, because you already have pressure and the pump has nothing to boost. In that case a Mira electric or mixer shower is the better fit.
On a combi or mains system, see Mira electric showers or Mira mixer showers instead. Not sure which system you have? The power showers hub has a quick compatibility check.
Mira spares and replacements
One of the advantages of a well-known brand is support. If your Mira develops a fault, you can often fix it with the right spare rather than replacing the whole unit. Identify your Mira model from the badge on the front or the manual, then match the part, commonly a thermostatic cartridge, a pump component, a hose or a handset. If your Mira is old or the parts are no longer made, a direct replacement that lines up with the existing pipework and cable keeps the work to a minimum.
Find the part you need in power shower spares, or read the spares and replacement guide to identify your model and decide whether to repair or replace (both linking when live).
Mira power shower FAQs
Which Mira power shower is best?
It depends on your system and the controls you want. Manual pumped models give a simple, forceful shower, and thermostatic models add a stable temperature and a max-temperature stop. All of them need a gravity-fed system, so check compatibility first, and confirm a given model is a pumped power shower rather than an electric one.
Where can I get Mira power shower spares?
Identify your Mira model, then find the matching spare, such as a cartridge or a pump part, in our power shower spares range, or choose a direct replacement (linking when live). The badge on the unit or the manual will tell you the model.
Do Mira power showers work with a combi boiler?
Usually not. Power showers are made for gravity-fed systems with a tank and cylinder. With a combi you already have mains pressure, so a Mira electric shower or mixer shower is the right choice.
Do I need an electrician to fit a Mira power shower?
Yes, the pump needs an electrical connection, which a qualified electrician should make to meet bathroom wiring regulations. The load is far lower than an electric shower, so there is no high-amp circuit or thick cable, but the connection still needs to be done safely.
What is the difference between a Mira power shower and a Mira electric shower?
A Mira power shower mixes your stored hot and cold water and pumps it, so it needs a gravity-fed system. A Mira electric shower heats cold mains water on demand and works on most systems. If you have a combi or mains supply, see Mira electric showers.
