isn't electrocution from an instant water heater rather difficult cos all external parts are plastic, unless messing with it while in the showering
Is water heater safe to use?

QUOTE(idoblu @ Sep 11 2013, 11:59 AM) the problem starts at the inside. Cold water runs through a narrow pipe with an electric heating element heating up so if faster water flow rate can prevent electrocution? like external water pump?this pipe giving you that instant heated water. So imagine if the heating element is leaking electricity to the water.....  btw because the water is going thru narrow pipes, the water flow rate is very low. some have buildin pumps which increases the water pressure but you still get a rather poor flow rate. I was quite surprised when some of these instant heaters even came out with rain shower type of head.  what if stand on rubber mat in shower and use water pump? i suppose best to use bath tub  |

QUOTE(ozak @ Sep 11 2013, 12:18 PM) The water is the electrical transfer medium. The electrucute doesn't neccassary coming from the shower that you use. It can come from anybody that using the water. even if heater element leaks electricity, the water can't conduct electricity as it breaks up into drops as it comes out of the showerhead and won't create a circuitand if all external parts are plastic/non-conductive then should be ok |

QUOTE(weikee @ Sep 11 2013, 01:13 PM) Haha... like that also can. so you're saying shower water from the shower head will be in continuous form to allow electricity to flow through, just like a solid conductor? I got no comment already. |
