Mira Elite QT Shower

Can someone recommend a place/shop where those Mira Elite QT elbows could be sourced these days.

Question for Sleeper12 or anyone with knowledge of Mira Elite qt shower: as you have been replacing so many of those faulty elite qt motor pumps, have you find out what was a problem with a motor? Usually this type of motor will see couple sets of brushes before it put in rest, is it any particular part of a motor that causes all problems? Have you ever try to recondition those motors?
Thanks.

Judging by the screaming of the motors I'd guess it's the bearings that fail. Problem is we had this issue with brand new QT showers out of the box. I don't recondition motors.



We actually replaced very few of these motors. New motor is over 200 euro supplied & fitted. New shower is 335 supplied & fitted. Rule of thumb: if repairs cost more than half the cost of replacing the appliance then new shower is the better option. This applies even to a two year old shower just out of warranty. With this in mind we replaced hundreds of Mira Elite QT showers in the last five years or so but no more than five or six motors.


On the QT shower I suggest if repair is more than 100 then it's best to replace the whole shower with a triton T90SR

Just a quick update on our one: called the guy who fixed it six weeks ago and he came around yesterday. He replaced our QT with a new SR and gave us a two year warranty. Happy for another while.

When I read this first I thought this guy replaced the shower free of charge. Reading it again I think I was mistaken. The warranty will be with Triton rather than the installer but Triton are good with their warranty.
Hopefully you will get many years trouble free with this shower

Sorry its a Mira Elite SE, not SR. My bad. It was replaced free of charge

Fair play to the installer so. Most would just walk away & tell you it's Miras problem.

I need to get a new Hose and Clamp bracket for my Mira Elite QT.
Does anyone know if spurious parts are available at a reasonable cost?

Cost of original parts is €40 plus shipping - was hoping to spend around half of that or am I deluded?

Pm me I might be able to help.

I have the "classic" leaking elbow problem and have replaced with a part from dublin showers. Their part seemed ok but my new issue is that the is a leak between the pump and the filter housing. It's much less worse than the leak that I was trying to fix but far from ideal.
The dublin showers elbow came with a new O ring for the connection that's leaking but since disturbing the original ring, now it leaks with either.
Is this a common side effect of going near the pump and are there any recommendations? (I'll stay away from Mira next time it breaks but this does seem like a minor issue so best to fix the QT).

Thanks,
Reg

Thanks sleeper12, is it OK to remove and insert the pump without removing the filter housing as it involves going in at an angle and I suspect this might be why it then doesn't sit right. Was just being lazy avoiding switching off the water so didn't really give the filter housing any play.

Hi, grateful for any help.

Basically came home to a constant stream of water coming out of the bottom of a Mira QT shower - its barely been used in the last 2 years, I think it was installed just over two years ago, I'm not sure I have a receipt.

I took the front off and it appears the white clip on the elbow has broken, in hindsight there was always a drip off the shower so it must have always been leaking.

Is there anywhere I can get the clip to replace it? Would something like a cable tie work.

Based on the comments in the thread, I'm really annoyed this product was realised (and that the plumber installed it).

Thanks.

looking for a little help diagnosing the issue with my Elite QT,

No Water flow over the weekend, had happened temporarily earlier in the week but flow came after a delay,

When I turn on shower now, green light on unit goes off, as well as the red light on the pullcord.

I explained this to Mira via email and they advised an electrician needs to look at it, but id like another opinion after reading through this forum, incase they are fobbing me off,

Shower is only around two years old max

Sounds like a faulty pull cord switch or faulty RCBO. RCBO can fail in the on position so being up just means the fuse is up. It doesn't mean it's passing 230volts. Same with pull cord switch. Light on just means it's getting a volt. Doesn't mean it's getting 230 v

Hi, Loooking for some advice.

I have a Mira QT which started making noise last week. Took off the cover and it looks like the attached images. Is it worth changing the brushes or is the motor gone. Do they always look loke this on the inside.

Thanks

Hi everyone.

Hope someone can help me,

My shower starting making a weird noise so I took out the filter to clean it (without isolating the electrical supply!!)

Put it back in place and now shower won't run and making stranger noises..

I have no clue about any of this stuff, Can anyone tell me did I completely mess it up by not turning off the electrical supply?

Thank you in advance
