Hi,
I would welcome any advice on the following.
I have recently fitted an new en suite Mira select thermostatic shower which replaced the old one which was exactly the same model.The shower is fed from a Worcester Bosch combi boiler which was fitted eight months ago replacing an old combi boiler. The old broken shower had not been used for over three years. I would like to know how to flush the new shower and safely use it, with specific regard to any possibility of legionnaire bacteria being in the pipes.
Thank you
John.
 
Let the shower run for a good 10 mins on the max and then the coolest etc
 
Either is fine
