BUT... I find that at 9/10KW my electric shower provides just about an adequate heat to flow rate during the winter months. The suicide shower provides only 5.5KW maximum. This is a Chinese quoted power figure that is often twice the standard used by the rest of the western world. I once stayed in a 4 star hotel in Cornwall where I thought it better to have a full wash with a flannel using the sink rather than risk the electric shower. You don't need the suicide shower fitting to be wary! The worst electrical/(dangerous) wiring I have seen was in a 1200 room 'motel' St Louise USA. Metal light switches with bare live wires coming out of the wall a couple of inches above the socket. The motel also had miles of synthetic carpet where just walking to your room charged you up so much that you got a 1/4 inch spark every time you attempted to touch the metal door Knob. -- mailto: news {at} admac {dot] myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

I have a travel iron that works on the same 'electrode boiler' principle. Even comes with advice to use a bit of salt to increase the water conductivity for more steam. Works well on 240V. We should really bin it. -- Adrian C |

Very common in Brazil, Bolivia and surrounding countries. I have stayed in a hospedaje?? where one of these was fitted over the toilet (another common South American occurence), and not only was is designed for a typical South American (quite short), the power connectors were bare wires and just twisted together. |
