As with all electrical appliances, it is
recommended to have your shower and
installation checked at least every two years
by a competent electrician, to ensure there
is no deterioration due to age and usage.

How an instant electric
shower works
r
1.15
In an instant electric shower, an
electric element heats water AS IT PASSES
THROUGH. The temperature of the shower
is adjusted by controlling the rate at which
water flows over the heating element. This
is done using a flow control knob. There is
no thermostat. If the temperature of the
incoming water varies (mains water can be
as low as 5° C in the winter and as high as
20° C in summer), the output temperature
will also vary. The shower is only able to
RAISE the temperature of the water by a
given amount (depending upon the flow rate).
