@Dudebro @bronze @dictatordave @egirlyuumimain Some dude on YouTube tested one of these out with crappy wiring and said it was surprisingly hard to zap yourself. Basically have to make sure the neutral isn’t (???) floating + no ground to metal pipe and it was “fine”. I might be remembering that backwards. Regardless, I wouldn’t be so careless.

@Dudebro @bronze @dictatordave @egirlyuumimain They use this in poor places near the equator because their “cold” water isn’t cold and only needs a small boost to make it hot. It seems pretty dumb, but I don’t think the water will be a better path for electricity than the neutral or ground right by it. Hot showers are a luxury in a lot of third world.

Neutral MUST NOT be bonded to ground except at the main service panel. Because wires have a certain amount of resistance, the neutral leg near an active appliance has a few volts on it, it's not zero voltage.So the point is you use the neutral as a return path for the power, and the ground is an emergency line that only drains away power if something goes really wrong - so it should in normal circumstances be truly neutral.Also I would put that thing on a GFCI breaker so if ever the amount of power flowing on the hot is more than the amount flowing back on the neutral (i.e. some is leaking elsewhere), it will kill the circuit. But anyway, the thing is ugly so I wouldn't use one anyway...

@Herman_Hetherington @Dudebro @Goalkeeper @bronze @Will2Power @dictatordave @egirlyuumimain I don't know, but what i do know is that the brand of those showers here is called "Lorenzetti". Cheap. So I guess that's why. But at the same time, as time passed, people mostly use telephone-style showers in their homes unless they are too poor. The price delta isn't that big either imo.And we're in summer here and we barely turn up the water temperature, since the sun heats up the water thingies the building has.

@HonkHonkBoom @Billy_Hughes @dictatordave @Dudebro @bronze @BowsacNoodle @egirlyuumimain Helped install one at my parents summer home. That thing runs on three phase 400V, don't remember the exact amperage it's set to but the max set by the power company is 32A so it was less than that, probably like 25A. Comes out to about 15kW I think? Great for washing dishes in the sink but I'd still consider the flow to be barely enough for showering if you like your showers hot not just lukewarm.

@Billy_Hughes @BitterPill @Dudebro @bronze @BowsacNoodle @dictatordave @egirlyuumimain They're usually extra aerated low flow shower heads to make that work well, and in areas where they are commonly used, the ground water is already fairly warm, they're not heating it from the temp that comes out of our cold taps ... the gas units can do instant hot reliably, as can the 230v euro units, at least better than our domestic power ..

@HonkHonkBoom @Billy_Hughes @BitterPill @Dudebro @bronze @dictatordave @egirlyuumimain The electro boom video explains the voltage and amperage pull on them. His suicide shower was putting voltage out at the shower head water, at highest still in the single digits. Also said there was voltage creep in the ground, which I do not understand, and said a lot of the goobers who install these will cut the ground to make it actually work (💀).

@dictatordave @HonkHonkBoom @Billy_Hughes @BitterPill @Dudebro @bronze @egirlyuumimain Idk if you watched it, but he tried to shock himself with it by standing on the metal drain and touching the shower head with his tongue. He likely knew it wouldn’t work, since he’s smart enough to get performatively shocked rather than die. He noted the wires would likely melt in standard American 120v, and that third world 240v is better able to manage this from lower amp pull.

@Billy_Hughes @Dudebro @bronze @BowsacNoodle @HonkHonkBoom @dictatordave @egirlyuumimain The power draw is massive to achieve the instant heating. However it's in theory more efficient than a boiler since there are no losses, you only heat the water when you're actually using it while a boiler maintains a volume of water at boiling temp and loses some of that heat even through all the insulation.

@Billy_Hughes @Dudebro @bronze @BowsacNoodle @HonkHonkBoom @dictatordave @egirlyuumimain On the flip side a boiler is typically only a few hundred watts versus the many thousands of watts of an instant heater. And that means you can much more easily power a boiler from solar panels and maybe even integrate a heat pump for additional efficiency.Really the main benefit of instant heat is that it takes up barely any space.
