I have been away for three months and on coming home found that my
mira sport shower is not working, it was making a horrendous noise,
so i took the front cover off and loosened the inlet valve to try and
bleed it. This actually allowed the water through the shower head but
the pipes were still howling with air. I then loosened off the nut
above the inlet valve to see if i could bleed it that way, this
stopped the howling pipes, but now the water has stopped as well.
There is no pipes knocking or anything just a dribble of water coming
out, so i am completely at a loss now, can someone please help me.

Gary,

I have the Mira Sport 9Kw. Try the commissioning procedure to 'bleed' it:

1 Turn the temperature to low

2 Turn the water flow (temperature) tap to cold

3 Ensure that all stoptaps are turned full on

4 Turn the shower on and let it run until all the air is out

I usually remove the shower head and let the flexible pipe hang down into
the shower base when doing this to ease the water flow restriction a bit.

If this fails, try cleaning out the filter at the bottom of the inlet pipe
and the try commissioning again.

Hope this helps
