And you should see the typical arrangement for instant showers

You'll be relieved to hear that it's becoming almost impossible to buy
one now - at least in the Southern Cone. After a few horror-stories of
my own with those things I rather fancied buying one to bring home but
couldn't find a new one for sale. My plan had been to fit one in my
own shower and with my dark sense of humour leave exposed wires
twisted together and position the knife switch directly under the
spray. Nothing would have actually been connected - the real hot water
would still have come from the combi boiler as usual.

Indeed, and some of the ones I saw had been installed to suit the
height of a typical South American, which is about 5 foot and a bit.
I felt sorry for the lanky Nordic folk who had to use them.
