Having an enjoyable shower, is one of the comforts that almost everyone can enjoy. An electric shower can be much easier to operate and install and can be enjoyed as much, or even more than mechanically operated showers, because they often include more options, and are also easier to operate. The connections for an electric shower can be not much more than the cold water supply, and the electrical energy source. However, there are a few precautions that are necessary to ensure a safe and efficient operation.
An electric shower may be suitable for areas with low consistently low water pressures, and they can also have a built-in pump that boosts the pressure of the water that is supplied to the shower head. The water can actually be heated at the shower head, and is independent of the usage of hot water in other areas in the home. You can enjoy a hot shower in your home even if your boiler or heater breaks down. If you have just a cold water supply line, an electric shower can be your best option, while a mixer shower would be suitable for residences with both hot and cold water supplies.
For the best operation, the shower should be installed with a water supply with a pressure of 1.0 bar, and the flow rate should be at least 8 liters/minute. The flow of the water to the shower can be regulated with an isolated valve on the line from the mains water supply. The choice of the cable, for the supply of electrical power, must be made carefully and it should be able to support the required voltage.
A double pole switch which should be separately connected to the electrical energy source, is required to operate the heating process, and it may also be used in emergencies. It should be installed in a separate secure location, and isolated from the shower to prevent contact or the risk of receiving electric shock while in the shower.
The showers are available in different models, and the power supply is one of the more important considerations, as higher power-rated showers, provide more powerful streams, and more heat, while variable shower heads, can vary the shower experience. Options may also include wireless operations, or water conservation features. Additional options will also increase the cost of the shower.
Although the connections may sound simple, it is highly recommended that the electrical connections should be completed by professionals. Some research is required before purchasing an electric shower. There are different brands and options with different features available, and it requires some effort to decide which is the most suitable option for you. Reading independent reviews can be a great source of unbiased information, and you ask the opinions of others, who may have already installed a unit.
