    hello'

    We got a mira vigour thermostatic power shower but recently it stated to make an annoying humming sound and wont stop. also months before this was leaking water out of shower head even when you switch it off, it would keep running.

    The humming noise is the pump/motor. Around 200 euro supplied and fitted. The water running after turning the shower off needs a new solenoid, 130 Euro supplied and fitted. Mira don't make good electric or power showers. As you can see the price for spare parts are scandalous. They are the only power shower sold in Ireland that only offer a 1 year warranty.some offer up to 5 years.

    You can buy the solenoid online 50 /60 euro.

    If The noise coming from the shower stops by opening a hot tap in the bathroom then the shower isn't plumbed properly. Sounds like there is a three quarter inch pipe feeding everything. The shower should have its own half inch supply either from the tank itself of a feed taken directly beside the tank
