Turn it half way and stick your hand under it. Then turn it up gradually
and feel what happens. Then report back!

Can you check the temp at a tap whilst the shower is running? You may be
'blaming' the shower when it is the boiler that is lacking capacity.

I have a Mira 415 and I needed to fit a flow reducer in the winter to
allow the boiler to cope - it was delivering 12 litres a minute and the
boiler struggled. It is now 9 litres a minute and it is fine



I realise now that your has a "flow" control (mine doesn't). Is the problem
there at lower flow rates?
