This shower head is interesting so I found the manufacturer website and the specifications state that there is an average increase of temperature of 25 degrees F. So this shower head is not going to make a "hot" shower. It is going to make at best a warm shower. Maybe that is not bad for some. With the mini tank water heaters you can have hot but not for long. With this one you can have warm as long as you want. Trade off.Ron Dickey wrote:there are ones that run on 110 they are small and I do not know they're record. But here is one

Can you quantify? I don't want to throw out the idea without support. I would be interested to know what you saw!
Thanks!

Just type in "electric shower head danger" and you will find some stuff. Here is an example:

True or not don't know. Just little mentions of it here and there.

OK thanks for the info... I did notice that every article I found had to do with travel overseas and substandard installation. Costa Rica, El Salvador, Latin America, usually the wiring job is pretty amateur and the wires are almost always exposed."
Lets keep things in perspective of responsible building practices. It is good to know that there are dangers.

I am going to put a shower in my next trailer and prefer to have a tankless water heater in a cabinet rather than hanging from a tree or bolted to the outside of the trailer. I would like to screw a water hose into the side of the trailer and be done with it. I have decided against Solar or alternate water delivery or storage ideas. Just looking for one of those wonderful units that I see everywhere but can be mounter indoors.
Anyone have suggestions or a link? Propane or Elec and at or under $200 would be great! (Experience with said item is even better!)
Thanks!
