Mira shower - Element and Silver differences?

Hi all,

Am buying a new shower and following advice here (tnx canucklehead, listys_dad) and from the installer I will get a Mira - either Silver BIV or Element BIV.

I just can't see the difference however - even comparing on the Mira website seems to show exactly the same features just in a different order.

Anyone know if there is any significant difference in these models?

    Hi: the Element has mid-flow control ....see pages 2 & 18 in the Element installation booklet....best way to compare shower features. They also have different shower heads.

    HI CNH - thanks for the reply.
    Yep I did notice the showerheads.

    I looked in both user/installation guides online and can't see anything about mid-flow control on p2, 18 or elsewhere. Am I looking in the wrong guide?

    Hi: I'm referring to this one.....Mira SLT BIV. It is the version we would fit.
