Shower question

are you sure its a normal electric shower? whispy, the only way to adjust temperature would be to adjust the heating element levels or to adjust the flow.
AS for the above it sounds like a faulty flow control valve, I'll check in a bit how it works, im on a break atm. i cant remember of the top of my head, but it sounds like a fault I had on one.
 
There are two controls on our shower Madhatter, one controls the amount of water and the other controls the temperture. We can have oodles of pressure at any temperature or a trickle at any temperature, or anything in between.

I don't know if that's abnormal or not but we got it brand new in May last year.
 
What an Absolute joker!!!

Turned up,

I put the shower on explaining that it is only producing 3 litres/min

"Oh no, thats fine that is, thats at least 4 and a half litres" he says looking at the trickle coming out the shower head.

"Just how can you say that? " I asked. explaining I had measured it 4 times with a jug the other day.

"Nowt wrong with it. You lot all expect power showers" says he.

I go and get a jug (1litre to brim) and something to time with.

He starts filing the jug up and when its 3/4 full empties it and says "1 litre!"

I point out it was nowhere near a litre and he has a hissy fit. I then meaure a full minute flow filling the jug to the top. 3 litres takes 63 seconds.

He says "No, that was 4, you were spilling loads" despite the fact I wasn't.

At this point I just said "If you aren't going to do anything you may as well leave, I'll ring Mira back and get them to send someone who will"

He goes off proper style. starts grabbing the book and showing me this graph with temp/flow shouting look, 35 degrees gives 3 litres flow, only I did Maths at Uni and I know how to read a graph and at 35 degrees it clearly shows 4 litres.

At this point I asked him to leave. He asked me to sign his work sheet and I said yes, I started to write that I wasn't happy and the job was not complete to my satisfaction and he rips the paper out my hands and starts ranting again!

At this point I opened the door and he went out slamming it as he went!

Anyway, I've rung Mira back and said I want someone else as I was disgusted with him. and they said they will try and send the area manager.

Next update will be posted!
 
It is so annoying when people try to assure you there are right when infact they clearly are not!! well said.
 
wow he wasn't planning on meeting you then was he Ian?..........you remind me of someone.......think I married him!!!

Nice to have you back btw........hope your on the mend.
 
If there is one thing I hate it is people trying to take the pee. He had no intent on doing anything and was obviously paid by the job so quicker in/out the better for him. I don't think he expected someone who had made sure they had the facts to hand and weren't going to be led a merry dance.

Thats rich coming from you. Remember when I had a clutch replaced by a free collection and delivery firm that tried to charge you £3 for the petrol he had to put in the car because it was on the red light when the clutch went :D

I had to go and buy a new golden shower pipe the other evening, as Rhonda got in the shower it split.
 
Bet shes really greatfull for you doing that.
Not impressed with mira at all, that sound terrible. where are mira based ?
 
Whatever happened to after-sales service?

Well done Ian for sticking to your guns and not being fobbed off. I hate it when they try to talk to you as if you're an idiot and haven't a clue.
 
after sales service lol that went years ago, they cant even give you during sales service nowdays. we're having a new bathroom and kitchen fitted, typical council cowboys, one of fhm kitchens sub contractors have scratched the triple hallogen light fitting but they deny they've done it. 35 quid it cost me, and now it's ruined, they say how could they have done it. The fact that they ripped the old kitchen out with a hammer and crow bar seem irelevant to them, they say I've done it, I took a piece of wood and stood there scratchin hell out of my own light fitting so I could claim a new one. A new one that wont match the three single spots, ye right, so I vote them cowboys of the week, closely followed by north warwickshire borough council, who do sod all, I don't know why they don't close the offices altogether and save us some cash
