Mira Advance Electric Showers

The Mira Advance range uses thermostatic control to maintain the temperature you set, so sudden changes in the supply — for example someone flushing a toilet — won't send the shower scalding hot or icy cold. That steady regulation is especially useful if you share the bathroom with children or older relatives. You still get instant hot water on demand because the unit heats cold mains water electrically, but the thermostat smooths out supply fluctuations for comfort and safety.

The kW rating tells you how much heating power the shower's element can deliver; a 9.8kW model will generally give warmer water at a higher flow than an 8.7kW model when incoming water is cold. If you prefer a stronger flow or live where mains water is very cold, a 9.8kW unit (for example the Mira Advance 9.8kW) will feel more powerful; an 8.7kW model usually suits smaller households or milder climates and is more economical. Both types in the Advance range keep things simple and family-friendly with thermostatic control and the same convenient slide bar.

The range includes a model specifically for low-pressure supplies: the Mira Advance ATL Low Pressure 9kW Thermostatic Electric Shower, which is designed to perform well on weak feeds. There is also a pumped electric option in the broader filters if you need a pressure boost; that type raises flow for a stronger shower. If your hot water comes from a header tank in the loft, the ATL low-pressure model is the most relevant choice.

The Flex and Flex Extra variants in the Mira Advance line give you greater manoeuvrability with the handset and hose, making it easier to rinse children, wash hair at a lower height or clean the shower area. The Flex Extra steps that up further with enhanced convenience features compared with the standard Flex model. If you value reach and adaptability — for example bathing a small child or using a handheld for rinsing — one of the Flex options will make daily use simpler.

Yes — the Advance range is deliberately family-friendly: the smooth slide bar lets you quickly set the handset height for children or adults, while thermostatic control prevents sudden temperature spikes. Controls are straightforward and the white finish blends into most bathrooms, so you get both practical safety and a clean look. Many customers rate these models highly for combining simplicity, consistent performance and ease of use.
