What ever happened to George Graham?

Did no one want him after Leeds and Spurs or did he just give up on being a football manager?

He's 76 ffs.

 

Played for Villa, Man U, Chelsea + Arsenal.

 

Managed Arsenal & Spurs.

 

Decent career but couldn't get in the National Side much.

Looking to replace my electric shower, currently a 9kw Mira Sport but its fucked.

Looking for any recommendations also why are Miras more expensive than Triton? Is there a big gulf in quality?

You're probably better of getting another one as different showers have varying water and electrical inlets.

You may have to re-tile if you opt for a another brand.

Ffs. Not a pun in sight but Zen knocks it out the park. Again. As he always does with plumbing issues.
 

Like for like = minimal issues/hassle.

Shouldn't be too much of an issue, its wet wall so no tiling needed and the ones I've seen have multiple inlets that can be used.

So are they all much the same quality wise?

Mira probably had a head start in the UK market and they trade on the name being the leading brand, hence they chance it by being a wee bit dearer.

Triton are quite an established brand and wouldn't be around if they made a poor product.

If you know exactly what's wrong with your shower, I've ordered parts from National Shower Spares | UK's #1 Shower Parts Stockist and haven't been let down.

Unfortunately think it's a few things, been in since we moved into the house but the pressure on the shower started dropping to where it is now next to nothing, the temp selector doesn't appear to be doing anything as it just goes ridiculously hot then the TCO cuts out the heater which makes the water freezing then same again.

Done all the usual stuff, checked for any filters which I couldn't actually find and cleaned the showerhead but no luck.

I don't think the parts look very different from shower to shower, have a look at this schematic, part No. 406.27 is the filter.

There’s a filter on the water inlet, try renewing your hose as it could have bubbled inside blocking it and put the shower head in vinegar

Top man for the drawing, got the filter out and there was nothing left of it, reckon the machine is probably scaled up.

I've had issues like that which was caused by the mains water supply pressure fluctuating.

Its fed from a tank in the attic so supply hasn't changed.

Another problem I've had is my other half coming into the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, to pour herself a glass of water. That sees the shower pressure dropping off and scalding me at the same time.

You are aware that it is a mains fed appliance?
