Your unit install look low, water will splash on the top of the water heater and may slip in. Did installation instruction put in recommendation height?

QUOTE(NikTaMere @ Sep 22 2017, 02:05 PM) I'm ok with the position. Maybe I'm a small person. Shower operation you only touch the control lever, heater dial and shower rose. Hence these parts are your only worry of getting electrocuted.Can you eloborate more on why do you think that it's unnecessary to change to a plastic hose? Don't you think it's dangerous to have a metallic hose at the inlet in the event of short circuit? |

QUOTE(NikTaMere @ Sep 22 2017, 09:55 PM) I need to check back the manual. But do you think this height is too low? I feel like it's just nice What i usually see are the shower head at most reach to the mid point of the water heater unit, while in your case the shower head can go above, and that mean possibility of water from the shower head plash to the unit if it was adjust to the highest point. I usually install mine with the temperature knob and the power on/off are reachable while the top part will be higher and shower head won't reach the top. |

As a rough guide, on/off button should be about eye level or above. |

QUOTE(NikTaMere @ Sep 22 2017, 01:19 PM) There's a warning on the water heater stating "caution metallic/chromed hose and conductive control valve shall not be used" I suggest either change the existing socket that powers the instant water heater to ShowerTec or here also. I had the brochure from Homefix I believe a while back but it seems that they're on social media more than a regular web page. [Update: Seen it sold for RM40 at TBM][attachmentid=9164763] My installer used this hose for the inlet. Looking at it, i think it's chromed hose. [attachmentid=9164771] How ever, this hose is in between 2 plastic fittings. [attachmentid=9164776] What do you guys think? Is it safe or not? Experts are welcomed to comment Not too sure is the outdoor S56 IP66 splashproof socket with a breaker is suitable for use in a bathroom as those are normally used outdoors.

Aside from splash proof socket or IP66 socket, since this is water heater, the bathroom will be very humid during or after shower, can consider install ventilation fan on the upper section of your window.
