Rain shower need good (high) water flow to rain properly otherwise you'll just get a miserable drip like prison torture.
OTOH, High water flow will not be able to heat up as well as medium water flow as the water already travel far ahead from the heating element (when its high flow).
Its part of the reason why normally they don't put rain shower as default when selling WH.
There are larger heating element WH (4800W models) if you want to run a rain shower and have it hot.
Ideally should run a new dedicated line from DB for the WH. Ask the
electrician to add in 10mA RCD / RCBO (from a reputable brand ABB Hager Schneider). Contractor simply hook up only, I recommend getting a real electrician to look into this if the contractor say noneed one.. wont die one...

These don't cost that much nowadays (95 bucks for schneider with sirim sticker)
https://shopee.com.my/SCHNEIDER-RCBO-25a-2p...1048.277441489125A RCBO as per above can do direct replacement for MCB (if u use 4mm or 6mm cable). Else still need 20A MCB if on standard 2.5mm cable as 25A for this cable size is overload.
Why this is important?

To avoid you coming into the news like this
https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/202...c-shock/1896447Standard 2.5mm cable will limit you to 3800W model WH. If you find the water too cold then nothing much you can do.
If you uprate it to 4mm or 6mm it will support 4800W (highlands model) WH.
Cost wise not that much more in terms of material for cable (even if buy loose per meter) but since pulling new line you might wanna consider just buying whole 100m rolls.

my floor have water pump from what i know from management office. In additional to play safe the model i considering come with water pump, i think should be sufficient.
My hometown using rubine with the rain shower and its quite ok from my experience, the heating i not sure normally how hot you all use as i saw this mentioned many time.
Normally i only use like 30% of full heat or max 40% (those dialer normally around 3-4) then when pump to rain shower i still didnt feel much heat loss, if yes then i maybe push it to 50%,
I dont think need 4800w model as i dont really take too hot shower.
its didicated just that i think maybe they just hook to any of the db side fuse. those 9 safety feature all useless for current water heater? just wondering.
