Mira Platinum Wireless - anyone have one?

[kingston12]

I recently had my Aqualisa digital shower replaced with the new equivalent, simply because it would be a like for like swap with minimal hassle.

These showers rely on a physical cable connection between the main control box and the bathroom and this cable seems to have broken during the installation.

I am now faced with a fair bit of remedial work to replace the cable, but then I noticed these Mira wireless showers which seem to do the same thing except they don't need the wire.

Does anyone have one and/or happen to know if they are pretty much a direct replacement for the Aqualisa showers (i.e. can use the same pipework)?

Very similar, hot & cold in, mixed out. We have a Mira one in the loft & a Grohe one in the airing cupboard. 15mm flexible connections on input & output.

Pretty sure you can download a manual or installation guide which should confirm.

Thanks. I have checked out the manual and it looks exactly the same. I have got a single pipe in the wall of the bathroom for the Aqualisa.

A few of the user reviews mention that the wireless connection can be a bit flaky in houses with a lot of other wireless items. Did you find this?

Nope. The Grohe one is a few years older & is experiencing infrequent temp control problems but the Mira hasn't missed a beat.

I've had my Platinum dual for over a year now. Works great and gives a great shower. Not had any problems with the wireless but the only wireless devices I have are WiFi.

Have 2x Mira Platinums and they're great (have been in 4yrs or so). Much better than the Aqualisa we have.

When the Aqualisa dies it will be replaced with another Mira.

Is it the cable between box and on/off switch that is damaged.

Aqualisa do a wireless control button.

It is the cable between the box and the main controller in the shower. I have another remote control on/off switch outside the shower, but that will not work when the main controller is disconnected.

There doesn't seem to be a fully wireless one listed anymore.

I am a bit concerned about going wireless as the only control anyway, hence my question about the Mira. Wireless is really flaky in my area as it is quite built up. I am fine if a wifi entertainment device starts playing up because of interference, but this is our only shower so could be a bit problematic!
