It's about time to be upgrading these showers to the new Triton T90z or the Mira Elite QT. 

Triton Ireland have stopped producing and selling parts for the Triton T90i and the Triton T90si. If you own one of these older models of electric showers and they are showing signs of wear and tear then it could be time to update. 

Here are four tell tale signs your Triton T90i, Triton T90si or Triton T90xr may need repair or replacement:

  1. Water leakage from the bottom of the unit
  2. Loud noise coming from the unit
  3. Inconsistent water temperature
  4. Low water pressure

Mira Elite QT

Aquashowers are now installing the new Mira Elite QT. The Mira Elite QT is the newest release from Mira and is the quietest pumped electric shower on the market. In studies done it was shown that it makes 75% less noise than any other shower of its kind without any loss in power.The shower has an integrated pump which also ensures that the shower has a strong and consistent flow, even at low pressure.

Mira Elite repairThe new release also has new technologies; Mira Clean-flo and Mira Clearscale. Mira Clean-flo makes sure that the filter is easy accesible for the customer to clean if necessary. Because the customer can access and clean the filter easily, it reduces the chances of it becoming blocked. When the filter is blocked you get low pressure flow and this leads to high water temperature. This is when the customer would have to pay for an engineer to come and solve this problem. The Mira QT will save you money in the long run. 

A big problem in Dublin is limescale. Mira Clearscale technology reduces the limescale by half, giving you a longer lasting life for your shower. 

 Watch this video for a great look at the product and how quiet and easy to maintain it is!

5 Ways to Avoid Frozen Pipes and an Angry Wife

Freezing Temperatures

As temperatures have dropped to near freezing, don't get caught out with burst pipes this winter. It's everyone's worst nightmare to come home to a flooded house. Some insurance companies are not paying out if you have been out of the house for more than 5 days. This could work out very costly.

If you have a holiday home it is particularly important to be thinking ahead. Here at Aqua Showers we have noticed an increasing number of calls from costumers whose showers are leaking water due to freezing conditions. These days everyone is topping up on the insulation in their attics, and while this is very beneficial for the rooms below, it makes the attic space nearly the same temperature as outside.

It won’t take long for pipes to freeze in these conditions even when the radiators are on in the rooms below.

Aqua Showers Top 5 Winter Tips for 2012:

  • Insulate : Insulate all pipes in the attic space with good quality lagging. They come in 2 metre lengths for 1/2 inch pipes and 3/4 inch pipes.
  • Fibre Glass: When insulating your attic floor with fibre glass, always leave under the water tank free of any insulation as this will help prevent the tank from freezing.
  • Holiday Home: If you have a holiday home always turn off the mains water valve (usually under the kitchen sink) and drain the water tank in attic by running both hot/cold taps in the bathroom until water stops.
  • Technology: A more expensive but very effective way is to install a device that allows you to text your central heating to come on anytime you like, for example when the temperature has dropped and there is nobody at home or if you are on the way home from work and you want the house to be a nice temperature when you get in the door. This devices cost approx. 200euro plus labour to install. Check out this Irish Company : Climote
  • Washing Machine: If you have a washing machine situated in a garage or cold utility room, insulate the flexible hoses with suitable lagging.

Hope these tips are of help.
