Aqualisa vs Mira: Digital and Electric Showers Compared

Aqualisa and Mira are the two biggest names in UK showers. Both are reliable British brands, but they have different strengths depending on your water system and budget.

Digital Showers

Aqualisa leads on digital showers. The Quartz and Optic ranges offer precise temperature control, remote start and a clean wall interface. Mira's Mode and Platinum ranges are strong competitors with good app control.

Electric Showers

Mira is the go-to for electric showers — the Sport and Advance ranges are robust and widely serviced. Aqualisa's electric range is solid but narrower.

Reliability and Servicing

Both have excellent spares availability, which matters over a shower's lifetime. Mira's electric shower parts are especially easy to source.

Matching to Your Water System

Combi boiler? A mixer or digital shower suits mains-pressure hot water. Gravity-fed tank system with low pressure? Consider a pumped digital shower or an electric shower fed from the cold mains.

Our Verdict

Choose Aqualisa for premium digital showers; choose Mira for dependable electric showers and value. We fit both and will match the shower to your water system during the survey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a digital shower worth it?

If you have decent water pressure and want precise, repeatable temperature control with a sleek interface, yes. They cost more than mixers but feel noticeably more refined.

Can I replace an electric shower with a mixer shower?

Only if your hot water system can supply the flow and pressure — a combi boiler or unvented cylinder usually can. We assess this before recommending a swap.
