Mira Showers has developed a version of its Advance electric shower with an integral pump so that it can now be installed in dwellings with low or erratic water pressure.
Providing a strong and consistent flow from a head pressure as little as 80mm, the Advance Low Pressure is offered in two versions – Standard and Flex. Both feature phased shutdown, which protects the shower’s next user by flushing out water from the tank, and Mira’s own Advanced Temperature Limit technology, which gives eight different maximum temperature settings including a BEAB Care setting.
There is a large, impossible to miss, on/off button, and colour contrasting LED backlit buttons that emit audible beeps when they are pressed. The shower’s slide bar is also easily adjusted for height and the four spray showerhead has rub clean rubber nozzles for easy cleaning.
The Mira Advance Low Pressure Flex is eEndorsed by the RNIB, using colour contrast to make it easier for the visually impaired to use. For instance, the side panel is coloured so that the shower unit stands out from a white surface and all the controls such as the power switch, the on/off switch and the rotary lever are strongly coloured to contrast against the white front panel.
The Flex model also features an extended hose, an extra long slide bar and parking socket, so boosting both safety and mobility within the showering area. The rotary lever that controls temperature is fitted with a loop so it can be operated easily by those with an impaired grip.
