1. Country

This is the essential thing. These electric shower heads were a big deal in Asia because dumb chinks don't know how to ground electronics for some reason.

No

Unironically posting my actual shower.

hey it's that shower from that movie

Nice

this is the height of luxury

What are those ?

A live wire that goes into the shower head to heat the water that makes macaco soup

Why not using gas ?

I know what grounding is, but how does it make this safe despite exposure to water?

rich people's choice
also it's almost cultural at this point, I bet there are plenty of people that don't know gas shower I'd a thing

What exactly is the benefit of electrifying your shower? Do the countries that do this not have hot water tanks?

>rich people's choice
Not here. Gas is the most common option even in far remote towns, where individual gas cylinders are transported by trucks. In cities most people have a "calentador a gas" gas heater. I thought Brazil had huge Natural gas reserves

Hot water comes instantly.
Plus it's chaper here since our energy it's cheap as fuck already.

Hot water comes pretty quickly with a tank, too. And you can choose between gas, electric, or whatever else. I'm just not understanding why the point of failure for an electric heater has to be RIGHT where the water is about to touch you.

It's all about installation and ground, if you ground it properly nothing will happen.
And again, it's much more cheaper than gas, p´lus you don't need to destroy your house to install one.

IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY PAINFUL

You don't destroy the house for a tank, either. And the tank is much more resilient, and provides more, and hotter water. You literally just connect it to the electricity at the point the water enters your house, and it keeps a large amount of hot water ready to go.

I have solar heating which is pretty comfy except for a few weeks during winter when the sun doesn't come out, which ironically is when you need hot water the most. In those occasions I need to move to the bathroom with an electric shower that always disarms because it can't handle heating water for 40+ minutes straight.

While eletric just comes hotter from the shower itself, much more simpler.

This one is from a gas station (used by truck drivers). I believe that the extra wiring is for a contactor turned on by a switch inside that locked box. kek

Aside from almost dying of cold because the water does not fall all over your body

Do you know how a GFI works? It is not just grounding, it is also about using a "smart" circuit breaker like GFI.

This João isn't going to install a gas-based heater, but will three wires and attach a shower on the wall

are you a russian lab experiment test tube baby?
