The Mira Advance Flex Extra 8.7kW has been designed to make everyday showering safer and easier, particularly for elderly and vulnerable users or those with reduced vision or dexterity. It combines thermostatic temperature control with accessible visual, audible and tactile features, while its flexible shower fittings make getting comfortable under the water simpler.

Like other electric showers, it heats cold mains water inside the unit, so it doesn't depend on your boiler or stored hot water supply. This makes it a practical choice for busy households as well as accessible bathrooms.

Safe, Consistent Thermostatic Control

Water pressure can change when somebody elsewhere in the home turns on a tap or uses another appliance. With some showers, this can result in uncomfortable changes in temperature.

The Mira Advance Flex Extra uses thermostatic temperature control to continually regulate the water, helping to maintain a safe and comfortable temperature throughout your shower.

Four Maximum Temperature Settings

For additional protection, the shower can be configured with one of four maximum temperature settings between 41°C and 48°C.

The appropriate maximum can be selected during installation, allowing the shower to be set up with the needs of the individual user or household in mind.

Designed for Visually Impaired Users

High-contrast visuals make the Mira Advance Flex Extra's most important touchpoints easier to identify, while the matt fascia reduces glare that could make controls more difficult to see.

Audible feedback provides another useful way to operate the shower. Clear beeps indicate when the unit is switched on or off and when the required temperature has been reached, while tactile controls and audible clicks help users make adjustments with confidence.

Easy-Grip Controls for Limited Dexterity

The Mira Advance Flex Extra also incorporates features designed to make showering easier for people with reduced dexterity or mobility.

Large, easy-to-operate controls are complemented by a loop handle and a friction-grip showerhead holder. The holder can be lowered using one hand, helping users position the showerhead without struggling with small or stiff controls.

Three Showerhead Spray Modes

Choose between three different showerhead spray patterns to find the setting that feels most comfortable.

The rub-clean nozzles also make ongoing maintenance easier. Limescale deposits can simply be wiped from the showerhead, helping to keep the spray performing effectively.

Mira Clearscale™ Technology

Limescale can gradually accumulate inside electric showers, particularly in hard water areas. Over time, this can affect performance and shorten the working life of internal components.

Mira Clearscale™ technology helps reduce limescale by up to 50%. Longer heating elements and larger gaps between the coils help minimise the hot spots where scale can develop, helping your shower perform effectively for longer.

Mira Opti-Flo Pro™ Technology

Changes in incoming water pressure can affect the flow from a shower. Mira Opti-Flo Pro™ technology is designed to compensate for these variations, helping to maintain consistent shower performance throughout the year.

Combined with thermostatic temperature control, this gives you a more dependable shower even when incoming water conditions change.

Phased Shutdown for Added Safety

When the Mira Advance Flex Extra is switched off, it continues running briefly to flush residual hot water from the heating tank.

This phased shutdown helps prevent excessively hot water from remaining inside the unit for the next user. It also helps reduce limescale build-up within the shower.

Cold Mains Water Supply Only

The Mira Advance Flex Extra connects directly to a cold mains water supply, heating water inside the unit whenever the shower is used.

There's no need for a separate hot water supply, and showering isn't dependent on how much stored hot water has already been used elsewhere in your home.

BEAB Care Approved

The Mira Advance Flex Extra carries the BEAB Care Mark, which identifies products incorporating additional safety and performance features developed with more vulnerable users in mind.

BEAB Care requirements include stable water temperatures and protection against scalding should incoming water conditions change rapidly, making approved products particularly suitable for accessible bathrooms and care environments.

RNIB Tried and Tested

RNIB Tried and Tested accreditation helps blind and partially sighted people identify products that have been assessed for accessibility and usability.

The combination of high-contrast graphics, tactile markings, large controls and audible feedback makes the Mira Advance Flex Extra easier to navigate and operate for users with visual impairments.

10mm Recommended Cable Size

The correct electrical cable size for an electric shower depends on its power rating and the individual installation. This 8.7kW Mira Advance Flex Extra recommends a 10mm cable.

Electrical installation must be completed in accordance with current wiring regulations and Mira's installation instructions.
