Mirra 88 Shower Control

The Mira controls are both 20 or so years old in both showers, and about ten years ago, I bought one of their service kits and changed the seals and other bits. A few months ago, the control knob started getting stiffer, so I decided to use the service kit again.

Fortunately, I found a Youtube video and the mumbling plumber said do not use the black grease supplied as it is useless, but use silicon grease as it is safe and long lasting. Smothered everything with it, and the control is as smooth as a baby's bottom. And precise control.

Just thought you would lke to know......if you are contemplating servicing your shower control

Well done Dobra I don't think I have the confidence to service a shower, I leave shower electrics to a plumber.

Re: Mirra 88 Shower Control

Good post Dobra, I will follow this advice

Re: Mirra 88 Shower Control

Thanks - no electrics involved with this one

Re: Mirra 88 Shower Control

We used to have a mira88 shower and I serviced it a couple of times with the service kit you mentioned

Re: Mirra 88 Shower Control

Yes, most plumbers are familiar with silicon grease. It has endless uses and helps fix problems that should have been noticed by manufacturers.

Re: Mirra 88 Shower Control

I have used it in electric junction boxes outside, feeding the pond lights etc.

You should leave electrics to a sparky.
