What's the problem? It's not a normal shower?

>>68138209
It's fine, if you get a bit of a shock then you turn to a skeleton for a while and your hair sticks up. Just go back in the shower again to make your hair go back to normal.

that doesn't look as crazy dangerous as you people seem to think. the electricity isn't going to travel through the shower head and kill you and if a wire breaks or becomes exposed its just going to short out. although i gotta say a roll of duct tape could cover all that if you wanna be a pussy about it.

why are brazileans so obsessed with wires???

>>68138380
I know Greeks and Turks both can't flush and need to put their used toilet paper in the bin.

Something to do with how old the pipes are, in certain areas at least. No idea what the excuse is in others.

electric showers are still very common in mexico

>>68138401
Electric showers in general are more dangerous desu.

A wire fucked up and wore down on one of hours (it was the box unit kind) and it started to smoke and caught fire a little.

After switching I'd never go back to an electric heater mainly because of the water pressure is so much better.

>>68138441
Oh yeah don't get me wrong, bidets are fucking awesome.

>>68138469
nobody uses them because they're superior its just the only option. and i don't see how they're very dangerous at all, yours was faulty (or installed wrong based on your use of hour) see>>68138302

>>68138504
I didn't install mine it was a few years back when I still lived with my parents. It was installed after the one before that also melted on the inside. A simple typo too btw.

Saying it's safe and works and is only dangerous when it's faulty isn't a very good excuse though. That's where the danger comes from, what happens when it's faulty. Sure, you might not get electrocuted while showering. But I'm more worried about fires. My ex had hers burn and melt through a wire before too. Faults are more common and when they happen it's worse.

Well, lemme explain.
Left valves pour extremely hot water, right one pours hot and cold. The round things in up side one drains the air and one pours fresh one. You are supposed to open left valves and let the steam come in, sit and relax. Then you use water from right ones to cleanse yourself.
Tho that one is really poorly designed, this one is much better.

electric showerheads are extremely cheap compared to heaters. and we don't REALLY need heaters, our natural weather is pretty warm already. sometimes it get's a little cold (i.e. 16ºC) and we just turn the showerheads on.

Yeah if you didn't replace your showerhead for 10 fucking years.

Most people use those steel-looking ones, shower head with exposed wires or "suicide showers" as the americans call it, have not been a thing since the beginning of the decade.

It is quite funny to see the foreigners scared of them though, I guess I finally understood why the mexicans keep them.

>>68142999
How are those not proper.
They heat water.

You can call they unsafe but you don't have a single fact to back that up. There's no evidence that they are unsafe, the number of death by electrocution while taking a shower are negligible and almost inexistent. I bet more people die drowned in their own bathtubs in america than electrocuted by a shower in brazil.
