    The water supply to my Mira Elite ST shower stopped while taking shower (supply tank ran dry unknown to me). Immediately turned off shower. When supply was restored, the shower motor runs (I have it set to cold) but no water comes out. What's happened?:eek:

    Turn to cold, take off shower head and blow hard back up hose, and release. This sometimes clears air lock. If no joy call plumber.

    Tnx for suggestion Scudo2, tried it but no luck. How come the pump in the shower unit doesn't just draw the water supply along on the system to clear the air lock?

    Remove the handpiece/ head from the hose, leave the hose dangeling into the shower tray and turn it on, it will clear its self, it will be a little bit noisey to start but it will clear its self.
    Btw blowing into a shower to clear an airlock is a nonence and couldnt work! You are blowing against a solenoid valve which is one way and closed !

    Silenoide valve is open when shower is on.
