Mira Elite 2 Shower issues

    We recently bought a new house and in the downstairs bathroom there is a mira elite 2 power shower. We turned this shower on a few times and the water is always roasting hot. We couldn't cool it down even when everything was on cold.

    I know these are tank fed shower and taught there was an issue with the shower unit itself. To check I turned power off and open the front cover, open the filter and let the water run. The water coming through was hot so I'm assuming whoever connected in the shower connected it to the hot water feed and not a cold water feed.

    What are my options to rectify this and get shower working correctly?

    Connect it to the cold supply is the only solution. If you are lucky it has its own half inch supply from the cylinder

    Mira elite 2 is 12 to 20 years old. I'm thinking that it can't be installed incorrectly all these years without the owner knowing. Is it possible that they had the thermostat on the immersion set on a sweet spot & just used the pump in the electric shower? With setting on cold and no power going to the element on the shower they could have just used this purely to boost the pressure. Being downstairs it could probably pump out 10 litres of water per minute.

    Cant see a connection directly from cylinder. Seems to be a few connections under the bath which is between the hot press and bathroom downstairs. Maybe one of these.

    The house is built about 12 years but no one has lived here permanently just people using it as a holiday home. Two other bathrooms have showers one mira sport and one power shower. No way of turning on cold water in the elite 2 and hot water is too hot for me or kids to shower in it.
