Down here, we have the Italian suicide shower heads. They have 240V run into the upper chamber of the shower head. The water is heated by the water pressure pushing up on a diaphragm, and that activates the resistance coil that gets submerged as the water fills the upper chamber, then, that water is discharged into the lower chamber where it gets spread out to form the circular shower head pattern.
IF a person has a fresh scratch or cut on their head, even if it is scabbed over, the hot water running on the scalp, causes a "BUZZ" from the electricity. :lol: YEAH BABY, hot foots in the shower.
I finished up a smaller solar collector, yesterday, and today, we slid it up on the roof and I spent the day plumbing it to a 3.5 gallon tank inside the bathroom, and making a mixing valve of sorts, to help temper the water if it gets too hot, in the middle of the day.
It's not the best install I ever did, but, ole Rube Goldberg would be proud. Wife is trying it out as I write this. So far, no shouting about too hot or too cold. Just got the 2 thumbs up, signal. Wife isn't too terribly hard to please, and, I get paid, later tonight. :wink:
NO MORE electricity to THAT damn device.
