Best thermostatic mixer shower for Vaillant 937?

rickyrickuk

Hi

I am about to get some quotes for replacing my 20+ year old Potterton Netaheat for a vaillant 937 and wondered what was the best thermostatic mixer shower to get that can provide the high flow rates of the 937?

I have seen a Mira Infuse 360 in homebase that looks ok, but wondered if it would cope with the flow being sent from the boiler? It mentions a flow restrictor (12L/min) in the outlet and I believe the 937 can provide (for short periods) upto 20L/min.

Thanks

Are you sure the 937 will be suitable for your incoming main? I assume this has been tested?
A good shower would be a Trevi CTV.

I have the plumber/corgi chap coming next week to check and give me a quote for the install.

Thanks for the recommendation, will the CTV allow the full flow rate of the boiler through and not have a restriction in it?

Its been a while, but I am still planning the new boiler (now for the new year). I've had a couple of quotes (£2700 and £3500) for the 937 and my pressure is just under 6 bar and the flow rate over 16L/Min (It filled the flow rate cup!).
I was looking at the Mira Combiforce 415 EV shower as this doesnt seem to have any restrictions. Only thing I can see negative is it doesnt seem to allow a control of flow rate.
Has anyone got this shower with a combi boiler?
Thanks

I always fit the Mira Excel shower the few times I actually fit showers with a combi install.

Thanks, did you find that the flow rate was good? I currently have a Mira event XS pumped shower and am looking for something with similar performance.

Never had any problems or come backs from those I've fitted them for. Flow always seems very good.

Don't know why you want a 937 though. Never found a household that needs one and they are a problem boiler usually though.

I was trying to get as close performance as I could to our current pumped shower and the 937 is only going to be about £100 more than the 837. I also thought it would help with bath filling speed.

What problems do they have?
