PHAM NEWS | SEPTEMBER 2026 Product News 35 Water-effi cient mixer shower for new builds
Building on the Mira React, Mira Showers has launched the Minimal, an improved specifi cation mixer shower designed to help developers meet tightening regulatory requirements while maintaining consistent performance in the home. Created for new build
applications, the Minimal features an integrated 6 litre- per-minute fl ow regulator to support compliance with current and proposed Part G and Part L requirements. It also supports eligibility for water effi ciency incentives off ered by UK water companies. Patented SprayBoost technology
is designed to provide a stronger spray feel without increasing water use. The shower is available in single and dual outlet confi gurations, with chrome and matt black fi nishes.
Upgrade options with the new
shower include an infi nite spray adjustment slider and an anti- drip overhead. Commenting on the launch, Ben
Smith, senior channel manager – specifi cation, says: “Specifi ers are under increasing pressure to meet tighter regulatory requirements while maintaining performance in the home and showers need to deliver on both. “Mira Minimal has been
developed to support that balance. It enables developers to meet evolving compliance requirements and access water effi ciency incentives, while maintaining a high-quality showering experience. “By combining regulated fl ow
with technologies like SprayBoost, we’re helping ensure targets can be met without compromising performance.” ◼

Effi cient control for heating systems
Targeting heating systems where effi cient circulation and straightforward commissioning are required, DAB Pumps’ Evosta 3 is an electronically controlled circulator pump with a compact design and automatic degassing function. The pump uses a permanent
magnet motor and electronic control to adjust its operation according to system demand, rather than running at a fi xed output. This is designed to reduce unnecessary energy consumption and allows the pump to be confi gured to provide the performance required by diff erent heating installations. The unit features a user
interface for accessing settings and operating information, helping make set-up straightforward. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for applications where installation space is limited, including replacement work, while attention has also been paid to simplifying electrical connection and installation.
An automatic degassing function helps remove
air from the circulator during commissioning. Air in a heating system can cause noise and aff ect circulation, particularly after maintenance or when a system has been drained and refi lled. The dedicated function helps clear trapped air from the pump as part of the commissioning process. Evosta 3 is designed to provide
a practical replacement option where an existing circulator needs to be upgraded. Its electronic control enables operation to be matched more closely to system demand, while the compact design and integrated functions support installation in a range of heating applications. The pump is suitable for both replacement and new
installations, with its combination
of electronic operation, user controls and automatic degassing providing the functions required for straightforward installation and operation. ◼

Shower storage solution stacks up in wetrooms
A new Wetroom Storage Column from Bathrooms to Love by PJH has been introduced to the Iconix showering collection, providing integrated storage for wetroom showering spaces. A vertical metal shelving profi le
consisting of fi ve shelves, the innovative storage design is compatible with wetroom screens at a height of 1,950mm, attaching directly to the wall where the screen is fi xed, forming part of the wetroom profi le. By creating storage within the
footprint of the wetroom panel, the Iconix Wetroom Storage Column opens up valuable, previously redundant space, removing the need for separate
wall shelves or hanging shower caddies, whilst keeping the wetroom fl oor tidy and free of toiletries. The integrated shelving column
is available in three contemporary fi nishes – Brushed Brass, Chrome and Matt Black – allowing for design coordination with the screen profi le, shower, and other metallic fi nishes within the bathroom space. Described as compact, sleek
and highly practical, it’s an unusual fi nishing touch designed to complement the wide range of Iconix wetroom panels within the Bathrooms to Love showering collection. ◼
