Above and beyond. The Mira Elite QT is plagued with problems by all accounts. There are quite a few posts here about people having issues with them.

Triton T90 SR seems solid.

That’s the normal price for them in Eurosales.

Really cos their website says 250?

I've never seen them at this price, cheapest has been 239

Great price for it, I got one 3 weeks ago for 230 euro with a big of haggling in my local store and I thought I was doing well then .

I had found a good price for it here at the time, my local hardware store matched it and knocked a fiver off it for me.

The difference in noise levels compared to my previous T90 is significant, its a good shower as electric showers go.

I assume you can't put it in Mira Elite ST place without any problems?

Briain O Loinsigh

The pipe for this shower is on a different position to the Mira elite. If you have a partition wall, it is not too hard to adjust the pipe.

These showers are way ahead of previous ones, they actually sound like there is no motor working at all.

These showers always go on sale at average €200-€219 Stakelums Thurles,Chadwicks, Topline, homevalue etc etc always have these on sale at certain times of the year. They’re great showers very easy to install and maintain/rebuild but a bargain would be €149 or below.

I'm going to nope that- I work in the trade in one of the above mentioned and they average at €250, lowest of €235, and you would be very lucky to get it for less than that. If you show me where i can get them for €219 including vat i'll get my boss's credit card and buy the lot.

I’ve never seen them this low.

Would it be silly to buy one at this price and keep it for possibly up to 2 years? have a triton t90xr which is near replacing.

Price will probably drop again in 2 years time if a new model comes along.

Can anyone confirm if the holes and water inlet will remain the exact same if I upgrade my old T90si to the T90sr? Basically is it a straight swap? I really don't want to go drilling new holes in the tiles if I can avoid it. Txs

The spec says: Easily replaces older T90 models - uses the same dimensions (footprint) and fixing points.

Practically identical, the overall footprint is slightly different but it's designed as a replacement so inlets/electric/hanging are the same.

A note on this- they are sent in packaging in an "installation' mode, there's a commission switch/button/yoke that threw a lot of folk off when these came out first- when the commission link is in the on position the pump will not work, if in any doubt refer to the manual.

Terribly uninformed post. They’ve never been cheaper and a steal at this price

How is it uninformed, after TEN years working in the industry, and selling them every day?

And i think, if you go and look at what i was answering, i was merely stating that they do not go on sale regularly IN THE SHOPS SUGGESTED at €200, and confirming this to be a bargain.

ibFoxer

AND just so everyone is aware, i have never seen them as low, this is a bargain, and i doubt they will be as low again for a good while.

The pipe and electrics are both in the same place for the mira elite and triton t90. As they have a different footprint the only thing to worry about is if the mira is fully tiled behind or not.

Yes. Your warranty will have run out before you even install the shower. Pumps are not designed to be left unused. People with a shower in the guest bathroom are advised to run the shower every week or two to stop the pump from seizing up. Triton T90SR showers that we installed before Christmas were made in November. Shops don't keep anything with a pump on the shelf for long periods of time.

This shower is at a great price (selling below cost) but in two years you'll still be able to get one for 240.

Fully tiled behind,so good or bad? Basically just drill new holes?

Hi,this unit is not for mains pressure,only gravity fed,i made the costly mistake of hooking one up ,then saw the advisory sheet stating not for mains pressure, it was a costly error,
I had to buy another unit,and I have a t90 sr sitting in the bedroom corner,lol,such is life,

Fully tiled behind is great. Not fully tiled behind causes problems as it's a different footprint to the mira. Plumbing and electrics are in the same area though

Your installer should have known. You never install any shower with a pump to mains pressure. It blows the pump. Wait for this offer to end on 3rd January and put your t90sr on Donedeal or Adverts. You'll get 200 easily for it if you have the original receipt

Briain O Loinsigh

Folks who are contemplating changing from Mira to Triton , open the casing on your mira and have a look at the pipe connection.
Also check and see if you have some give on the cable to the shower.

I've professionally installed loads of both and I can tell you from experience that they are by no means identical. The cable is the most important thing as you cannot extend it.

Happy New year,
Brian.

Bought one a few weeks ago and priced around north kerry west limerick and cheapest was 239. It fitted perfectly in place of a t90xr and is nice and quiet.
Good bargain for anyone with a clapped out t90

Do you find that the SR is slower at warming up than the xr?

I've just replaced my 2009 xr with SR, noticed also flow isn't as fast on hotter settings.

Easy install, would have been alot easier if the stopcock on the feed pipe was working, had to bung up the outlet inside the tank...that water was cold!!

Our SR takes ages to heat up after someone has had a shower. I replaced the shower head as the one that comes with the shower is not great.

Hi all sorry if this is a question that has been asked already.

We have a Mira elite that's on its last legs. The water input is at the top left and wires bottom left.

Can the Triton t90 be plumbed without changing these. I looked at the drawings and installation instructions for t90 and it shows water input at bottom left. Is there an adaptor or something like that allows water to enter at top?

Sorry for long winded question...

Sleeper12

You have a very old Mira.

Add 4 or 5 inches of pipe and it will match up. You would need add this pipe even if you go for a modern mira-elite. Mira changed to bottom left close to 20 years ago.

If your shower is that old chances are you only have a 32amp trip switch. You need a 40amp RCBO by law now. It would be well worth getting an electrician to replace the shower for you.

Just pointing out that It's illegal for the homeowner to replace or repair an electric shower.

sweetie

Which of these would be a replacement for a t90si? Is it really illegal to replace a shower, like for like?

Yup. With the risk of a jail sentence believe it or not.

The triton t90sr is the replacement for the triton t90si

How much to have this installed professionally If I bought one?

Sleeper12

It depends. I'd imagine you'd be quoted 100 to 200 depending on the tradesman. 100 inc vat would be a fair price imo. Quite often it's cheaper for the tradesman to supply the materials

I saw someone quoted 350 but they lived in the sticks and it was a couple of hours drive just to get to the house

I found the SR faster to heat, but the xr was not in great shape so hard to compare

thanks for getting back.....and for the advice....you are correct we need the RCBO...Electrician the way to go

just to clarify though, will the 4 inches of pipe added fit within the case of the Triton? really dont want to have to replace any tiles

The installer cuts the pipe to suit. There is a channel at the back of the Triton T90SR for hiding the pipe and cable. So long as the shower is tiled behind to start with then you won't have any problems

Prob should have said it be replacing a 90si

There has just been a price increase on these. The offer is now at €229. Literally picked one up in swords just as they were changing the signs. The honoured the original price for me so fair play. Delighted with the savings. Speaking with the girl at the till apparently they were flying out the door for that price.

Bought one myself last week. Took me 1 hour to replace 10 year old 90SI. Read instructions and all should be straight forward. It was worth all the money.

They only realised this morning that they were selling them at a loss of 18 euro per shower.

Did you have to drill new holes? Triton told me that the holes from my old T90si were the same on the T90sr but they weren't for me.
