Flushing New shower that replaced old one unused for three years

[jamboal]

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

Hi Shaun,
Thanks for the reply. I just wasn't sure if this was as big an issue with a combi boiler. Does it matter if you run the cold or hot first when you flush out the shower?
Thanks

Either is fine
