How Your Electric Shower Works
Hot water is produced by passing cold
water through a heating tank.
The shower has three heater settings.
The warmer the shower, the lower the
flow rate and vice versa.
What Affects Shower Performance?
The shower's top priority is to keep the desired water temperature constant. To
maintain this temperature, the shower may have to automatically change the rate of
water flowing through the appliance. Any of the following conditions can cause the
shower to change the flow rate (force of the shower) in order to keep the temperature
constant. Most changes are minor and will go unnoticed.
1.
Seasonal temperature change. (Affects incoming mains water temperature.)
2.
Minor changes in electrical supply voltage.
3.
Minor changes of mains water supply pressure.
4.
Mains cold water draw off. e.g. Toilet, washbasin, etc...
5.
Heat transfer due to position of mains cold water pipe. e.g. Positioned next to
hot water pipe, routed through heated area such as loft or airing cupboard.
