  • Now that’s what I call a shower!
    Living on a farm means a good shower is always in need. To finish off the cabin bathroom we teamed up with Mira Showers in this sponsored video to film a full install of their Opero Dual shower. Having fitted a number of their showers in the past we were really excited to try out this style, (really clever light ring and buttons too!).
    It’s a nice change to the more standard bar mixers but still a nice simple install.

    The hardware I used is now previous generation, but the principle still applies when you plan your big house. So nobody has to sit at the tap end of the bath, use a bath filler on the side. Install the thermostatic control so that it first feeds a selector valve with options of bath, or one of the shower heads. You can then fill the bath without having to play around trying to get the temperature right.

    I suspect the shower is powered by thermoelectric modules. These are normally used as heat pumps i.e. if you provide a voltage to the wires they produce a differential temperature across them using the Peltier effect. However, if you provide a temperature differential then they will act in reverse as a thermoelectric generator and produce a DC voltage using the Seebeck effect.

      It's how thermocouples have worked on gas boilers for decades.

    We’ve had a Mira thermostatic mixer for 25+ years, had to buy some new internals about 5 years ago, easy to source and fit. Would highly recommend Mira, when we refitted the bathroom we reused the existing mixer as the quality is so good.

    We have two aqualisa Quartz - one with a really useful piezoelectric remote start button. Enter the shower once solid light. They have power pumps attached and when went wrong we fitted new pump units and had the old units refurbished by an independent in SE London so we have back ups as they’re no cheap.

    I went with Mira Digital after seeing it on previous video. It takes more work for the install, but if you have a loft not too hard. And it's awesome. Looking for a shower like the one in this video when i redo the main bathroom. Sold!

      Now retired but always installed mira showers since the mid 1970s. Installed hundreds of mira 722 valves and they just worked every time and some of the recent releases are superb.

    We have very good cold water pressure on our supply, so we went with a direct feed boiler (no tanks), which powers both of our showers at the same time with very good pressure.

  • @gingerelvis
    @gingerelvis 9 месяцев назад +1

    I imagine the electrics are powered by a little turbine that runs off the water flowing past, I've seen cheap and nasty shower heads that do similar. I know people seem to like the rainfall shower type head but I'm not a fan personally, I don't really like my head being wet for longer than necessary 😂

    Also what are the panels you used around the shower/bath called? Checked your other vids and can't see them mentioned when you fitted them.

      Pretty budget panels but pleased with them. They are made by Zest. We bought from principality plastics in Gloucester.

    Love this channel and spend most evenings catching up with the latest. I would just say that I find the audio always a bit muffled and the narration sometimes indistinct compared to other RUclipsrs I follow. Don’t know if this is a microphone issue? That said, full of admiration for all the expertise and information.

      Having had chrome and black now I’d say there is not much difference with limescale, it seems to show as much on both. Probably more so on glass than anything.
