subject: Some Available Options In Electric Showers [print this page] You can appreciate the convenience of having variable shower heads, to adjust the type of water flows from electric showers. More powerful flows may help you to feel more invigorated, while a softer flow, may help you to feel more relaxed. Most electric showers are designed with handheld shower heads with methods for adjusting the spray pattern. Some shower heads may even help to conserve water.
You should at least be able to control the temperature and flow of the water from the shower. When thermostatic controls are included, the result may be a more stable and consistent shower experience. Because these showers may make more use of electronics, they can now include more options and features. Most of the functions can be operated with push button controls. Push-button controls, mean that there is no readjustment of settings, as they can be saved in memory. A liquid crystal display can be a useful option to display the temperature of the water.
The more expensive showers will usually have more features, and one of the most desirable features, will be an adjustable power setting to adjust the flow and temperature of the water under different conditions. Some manufacturers are offering wireless electric showers. The actual control panel is concealed, but can be adjusted with a remote that is mounted on a wall and communicates wirelessly with the unit to adjust settings such as the temperature or water flow.
Because the water is heated independently, they can be an advantage in colder climates. Electric showers are also popular options in developing countries where water pressures may be lower because of less developed infrastructures. They may sometimes include a small pump to increase water flows as the water is heated. The use of electrical energy is then reduced as less energy is consumed than with the use of electric water heaters.
The mix of electricity and water, may sound risky, but if the shower is properly installed by a qualified electrician, the shower can be operated safely if a few practises are followed. You should ensure that grounding to earth is secure, and the system has it circuit breakers and fuses. There should be no exposed wires, and all connections must be secure.
It can be a good idea to get familiar with the operation of electric showers, if you are visiting less developed countries where the use is more prevalent than in more industrialized countries. Before using the shower, it must be thoroughly tested. All settings should be made before the water supply is turned on. When the water is turned on, the temperature can be adjusted with the adjustments on the control panel control. A light buzz will often be heard at the shower head to indicate that the water is being heated.
When the shower is not being used, it is important to remember to turn off the electrical components to prevent damage to the system. The circuit breakers should be isolated from the rest of the shower unit and contact with electrical components must be avoided to prevent the risk of electrical shock while the shower is turned on.
Electric showers can bring much added conveniences to homes where hot water supply is limited. Electric showers can also help to conserve hot water and reduce electricity bills.
