Thermostatic shower

Skizzik

Hi there.

I have a question regarding a mira thermo shower and an aqualisa one.

The mira says it deliver Delivers 3Ltr/min at 0.1bar with a max pressure of 5 and the aqualisa one says it delivers 1 Bar (dynamic) = 7 litres per minute with a max pressure of 10.

I have a vaillant ecotec+ 832 - 32kw with a pressure of 2 out of 5 on the front panel.

It seems the Mira is better in terms of what they promise to deliver but is it unrealistic to assume that it is actually possible in reality as no other brand seems to offer this.

Cheers.

That'll be the pressure the heating system is at, not the available water pressure.


The stated maximums are what pressure they can operate at. I would suspect the higher flow is simply due to having larger or more holes in the shower head.

Ah my mistake. From some reading around it seems my Vaillant should be good enough for either shower, however i'm still no closer to deciding which shower to choose.

Just had a look at the Mira site and just as frustrating 6 weeks on.
Couldnt find the one your after but having just ripped an old 10kw+ Advance Thermostatic out that lasted 18 years that acted like a power shower i went lower grade this time for the Sport Thermostatic 9.8kw, not a patch on the earlier one though still nice.

Or another way of putting it delivers 3ltrs with only 1.4 psi, more presure in will give a higher output within reason.
Even the base low kw Mira deliver 7ltrs per min.
