How to install an electric shower?

Installing an electric shower to heat water , in homes where there is no hot water pipe installation, is a simple procedure . However, as they are usually inexpensive devices, the instructions they bring are not always clear or even come without instructions. In this article, a simple step guide for the correct connection of an electric shower .

Recommendation: when installing an electric shower , it is recommended to use thermal faucets or, preferably, differential thermal faucets . These keys are automatically disconnected when they detect electrical currents of small intensities (of the order of hundredths of amps), which a common key cannot detect but which could be fatal if they crossed the human body .

Electric shower installation in 8 steps

Now, let's see how to install an electric shower in 8 easy steps.

Procedure:

  • Before connecting the electric shower, check that the voltage indicated for the shower corresponds to that of the house (220 V).
  • Disconnect the main key from the network before starting the electrical installation.
  • The shower works with electricity, because you must lay a direct line from the board or distribution box of the house. Connect the line to a thermal key.
  • Check that the water pressure reaches the shower, if the supply is through a tank, it must be at a minimum height of 3 meters above the bathroom floor. If the water tank is at a height between 8 and 40 meters, you will have to additionally place a pressure reducer on the water inlet nipple to avoid damaging the shower.
  • Cover the pipe threads with a tape to seal the joint and prevent water leaks. Then carefully screw on the electric shower by hand without applying too much pressure because it can break.
  • Once the shower is installed, connect the accessories. Remember that the hoses should curve wide to allow the uninterrupted flow of the water.
  • Let the water run through the shower for a few minutes to fill it up and avoid burning the resistance (very important) when it is connected to the electrical network. Take advantage of this time to carefully check the joints. If you notice a leak, unscrew the showerhead by hand and replace it.
  • Splice the ground wire or cable (green or yellow / green color) to the grounding system. Electric showers must have a ground connection , to give greater security to the installation. After the installation review and testing process is complete, turn on the power.
