MIRA EVERCLEAR
ANTI-LIMESCALE
HANDSET
1616.030 & 1616.031

2
The Mira Everclear is a single mode handset. It is suitable for most mixer showers
and for electric showers over 9kW.
This Handset has been specifically designed for use in hard water areas. The design
incorporates an automatic self drain action and pins to resist and clear lime scale
build up.
The face of the handset is cleared with pins coming through the spray plate to stop
the build up of lime scale. The pressure of the water moves the spray plate over the
pins which enables the holes in the handset to be automatically cleaned.
The Mira Everclear shower handset is available in white or chrome.
System Applications
•Instantaneous gas heated systems
•Gravity-fed systems
•Mains pressure systems
•Pumped systems
•Electric showers (over 9kW)
Additional Features
•Automatic Descale
•Automatic Handset Draindown
•Additional Manual Descale (if required)
•High and Low force spray plate
Alternative Nozzles
The showerhead has been been fitted with low capacity spray unit, which is suitable
for a pressure of 0.06 – 0.5 bar (0.6 – 5 m head). They are suitable for most shower
installations, but for high pressure installations the spray force may be too powerful
for comfortable showering. In high-pressure installations, such as gas water heaters
that require a higher flow rate to operate correctly, we recommend that the high
capacity spray unit be fitted.
The high capacity spray unit is also included in the pack.
Refer to the Maintenance section for fitting instructions.

Operation
Spray Settings
The Everclear handset has three operation modes:
1. The flow of water automatically
pushes the spray plate forward,
sealing it against the retainer and
allowing showering to start.
2. Turning off the flow of water
automatically allows the spray plate
to retract to the rest position,
causing a series of pins to clear any
scale from the holes. Water left in
the shower head will drain away.
3. If the spray plate should become
stuck, it can be pressed further
inwards by the user, this will clear
any additional scale from the holes.
Once released, it will return to the
rest position.

5
To clean or replace the Spray Unit:
4. If cleaning remove any debris/scale
with a stiff brush and wash out.
5. Ensure that the profile seal and
outer spring are located into the
holder.
6. Refit or renew the spray unit, (ensure
the spray plate seal is fitted).
7. Screw in the retainer in a clockwise
direction.
8. Push on and snap the shroud into
place.
