sealed unit.

element, but it cannot give you an
electric shock.
 There would not be any electricity if
it touches you, but it could be hot.

6. How Powerful
AreElectric
Showers?
 Electric power level ranges from 6KW
to 10.5KW.
 If you take it in general, the higher
the wattage, the more water can be
heated and this can then pass through
the shower quicker.
 The pressure of the water within your
household also affects how effective a
shower can be.

correct fuse for the circuit breaker, for
the power level of the shower that you

blue (cold) to red (hot).
 When we compare basic and better
showers, there is a difference; with a
basic system the shower dial adjusts
the flow of the water past the heating
element to regulate change the
temperature.
 Better showers have, flow sensors,
pressure balancing valves and
thermostats that keep the pressure
and temperature safe and steady as
possible.

11. Conclusion

important to see which one suits you
best.
An important decision will be the
kilowatt rating of the new shower.
Options available include 7.5kW,
8.5kW, 9.5kW, and 10.5kW.
The higher kilowatt rating, the better
the hot water flow will be. Also, you
