Whats your day job!

[The Selbsters]

Ah, just north of Chelters that'll be!
I design showers for Mira ... hmmm ... don't suppose you've lost any vans recently?
Hope they weren't VW's! :wink:

I have a 11kw Sport but it develops a deafening buzzing at higher pressures (lower temps)? im worried :? is it due to scaling? sorry but £150 to get a dude to come look at it

Sheesh Kebab!!! 150 smacaroonies is a bit steep :shock: methinks I can ask for a pay rise on that!
Limescale is a possibility if you live in a hard water area :?: How old is the unit :?:
More likely is your traditionally low water pressure in Northern Ireland (I presume Norn Iron is such!).
It could be that the flow valve is right on the brink of control and is rapidly opening and shutting.
If you turn on another outlet nearby, do the "low flow" or "overheat" lights come on :?:
Do you have a plumber mate who can check your water pressure :?: You'll need at least 1.0-bar.
Also an obvious one but I presume you are running off mains water not off a header tank :?:
Also check the filter is not blocked :?: If you need a manual look here ... http://www.mirashowers.com/onlinecatalog/shower_features.jsp?item=367316&prod_num=Sport+Max&cat=Electric+Showers
I've been working on mixer showers for the past few years but coincidentally tomorrow I'm moving onto the electrics team ... I'll find you what they think.

We had an engineer out to customer today who complained of a squeaking sound before her shower went dead ... we found two fried mice!!! :mrgreen:
I'll chat with some colleagues and see what they think ...

I design showers for Mira ... hmmm ...

My wife worked at Mira (or Caradon Mira as she calls it) many, many years ago. How long you been there?

Small world ... Its quite likely that I would have know her.
I've done almost 15 years - think I should at least get parrol for good behavoiur by now :wink:
I started as an apprentice working my way through through most departments for 4 years, then was off at uni for 3 years and then back in NPD for 8 years. What department did she work in?

Yes I remember the Caradon days with First in Service initiatives and good old fashioned working ethics. That was before HSBC pillaged us and sold us on to the American giants!
Those were the days ... get your violins out ...
Actually ... Kohler have been great ... except for a few really annoying policies!

Her name then was Beth Attwood (now Brown) and I think she worked there with Kay Gibbons (now Watson). Do you remember them? Would have been some marketing type role they did.
