Maybe the fact that it looks like a nigger rigged Africa tier facsimile of a shower.
>be certified electronic technician
>see nothing wrong with it
lmoa dood
what bugs me is, which one is returning and which one is the leading phase wire, I mean assuming its a 3 current electricity, I dont get why are green and red together, that seems wrong..
it also appears there's no grounding wire anywhere, that's weird
>>52746637
Seems to be a common theme from some of my own travels, albeit mostly Central America. Everyone is basically a mechanic.
>>52746506
I guess it's too hot.
>>52746664
it's safe enough, never heard of anyone dying because of it. Children don't reach it and the others are smart enough not to touch the cables during bath.
Here in the border with Uruguay we have some months of cold, so many people prefer the gas shower, but to be honest, if you have a good one, an electric will do.
>>52746664
It is safe, ecologic, and economic, it just looks like shit because brazil can't afford better
All brazilian gas stations sell ethanol as fuel too
I wish Chile was this developed

How does that shit even work? I've traveled across the pasisho and never seen one of those shower heads.
>>52747638
I believe you
it just looks dangerous, even though you probably figured out how to make it safe
i feel a weak shock when i hold the thingy to turn on/off the shower, it's made of metal
>>52747686
Ehm, no things fall apart over time and if some of that tape goes loose over time he might be in for a shocker.
>>52747719

first i was scared and using something of rubber or something to turn it off but now i am used to it and just ignore the shock
>>52747718
it's simple as fuck
the water flow actives the heater.
it's a simple wire with high eletrical resistence
>>52747560
kek
>>52747822
Remember to have the radiator at full power in a closed room tomorrow Hans
>>52747805
But mate, I bet there's a bunch of houses here with those showerheads. I simply don't understand how someone could see that and say "Hey, that looks one hundred percent safe".
>>52747849
Thanks pal.
>>52746700
no it isn't even if your standards are low enough to accept it
>>52747849
from time to time we have to replace the electrical resistence wire
They're a potential hazard. They're either too high to change the temperature setting and force you to jump and eventually fall or they can make a lot of static. You can get shocked just by accidentally placing your hand near the wires, especially when you're all wet. Nobody likes them and they may burn and stop working if you set the temperature too high for too long. Also the cables get hot and are a fire hazard.
Not everyone has one of those, though. Only poor people and Brazilians.
>>52747805
not at all, most of tecnologies comes first in chile than rest of latin america
>>52746506
It is heating water or what? Why not classic gas boiler? Its nit that expensive
>>52747560

I've used gf's shower multiple times and believe me, nothing has happened. When I was a kid, my late grandma also had one of those. Nothing ever happened either. Besides, I've never heard anything about people getting tazered by their own showers.
Not stating that it is bulletproof, but that it is safer than it seems.
>>52747925
Electric shower head is cheaper, easier to install, takes less space and it's better for the environment
The only downside is that is heats less. But it's already pretty hot here, so it's a non-issue.
>>52747970
For free maybe never
wtf you guys don't have electric showers?????
>>52747560
HAHAHA this is marvelous, I'm gonna use my new reaction pic I just stole from facebook
>>52748050
other countries have gas distribution systems etc
>>52748090
Especially Germany is very proficient at making these.
>>52748050
No, we use gas
It either takes 5 minutes to heat enough, or uses up a bunch of gas to heat fast enough
Not to mention that the ducts can get clogged and the water never comes out warm
I find it pretty odd that you're getting bullied for this instead of praised
>>52747822
>having to break your wall everytime you need to replace/repair the showerhead
It's ugly yeah, but it's convinient. Also, this is pretty much the standard for lower and middle-class, even high middle-class, households. Wealthy people and establishments like hotels and factories will have gas-heated central systems, but unlike with electric showerheads and taps, every once in a while there are cases of the gas leaking and killing people, so people tend to be scared of installing gas heaters even if they can afford it.
>>52748016
If you allow too much water to run through the shower, it won't catch up with the heating, so if you want really hot water, you must allow a little less water so the shower can handle the water flow and heat it properly.
>>52747903
They call it "heating element" in English-speaking countries.
>>52747916
>being a manlet
Seriously though, this is only a problem when retards install that shit with inadequate cables. Those showers can pull over 25 Amps, you don't use just any shitty cable and expect it not to catch on fire.
>>52748050
Far too expensive to run. Do you guys have cheap hydro power?
>>52748062
Are they from south brazil?
Are you guys saying that you don't use it? I always thought it was widely used in Europe because it was eco-friendlily and all that faggotery.
>>52747560
Please never take a shower there, anon.
>>52748209
No, Rio de Janeiro.
But I met them here in the south
>>52748227
>eco-friendlily
Not unless you have shit loads of power from renewable resources.
>>52748252
They probably turned white when they entered the south then
>>52748201
Not at the moment since we're experiencing a drought (it might get better this year), but generally yes, like 70/80% of Brazil's energy comes from hydroelectric dams. Currently though we're depending a lot on thermo-electric stations, which has driven energy bills up.
>>52748227
No
Some cities have geothermal but most people have gas boilers
>>52748016
>better for the enviroment
>everyone uses it
>massive energy consumption
>the country's energy production is already so fucked up our hydroelectric stations can't meet the demand alone
>have to switch on thermal power plants to back it up
How do you think we heat those power plants, anon? I bet you it's not with fucking nuclear fuel, since we only have 2 nuclear power plants in the whole country.
>>52748050
never seen one in my life tbqh
>>52748297
oh the memes
there are a lot of whites in Rio, not everyone there is black.
>>52748370
Hydro power is great for the environment. Even better than nuclear.
We are heavy on hydro here, so it's better for the environment.
>>52748227
I think gas-heated showers are cheaper and more eco-friendly
>>52748349
It makes sense if you have the water for hydro.
Who has pic related in their country?

Boilers aren't that expensive, Jesus Christ
>latin counties
it's uncommon to get electrocuted by a shower so it's safe
>white countries
having even the remotest possibility of anyone getting electrocuted by a shower in their lifetime is extremely unsafe
reading this thread I don't think latinos even grasp how incredibly illegal and absurd the showers in these pics would be. I'm willing to bet if you showed them to random people on the street 75% of those who haven't travelled to 3rd world countries wouldn't believe it's not some staged joke photo. it's simply unbelievable

Now go back to your fantasy world where euros are too civilized to put water near electricity.
>>52748050
First time I see it senpai. Nobody uses those here
>>52746900
Wtf
Why do you shower in electricity?
>>52749531
I was talking about the wires, its safe for it to be outside because they are covered on insulating tape and nobody can reach the wires anyway
>>52749591
that picture is like 10 years old and still circulating the internet because it's so absurdly stupid
meanwhile it's on par with what latin countries use as an accepted standard for everyday living in their homes lmao
>>52749619
You europeans literally have the same system in your kitchen to heat water.
Don't pretend like it's something barbaric.
Also, our showers are safer than your boilers, since it doesn't turn on without water running.
>>52749668
meaning?
>>52749625
i wasn't really concerned with safety with that one, you just never see wires dangling like that in any appliances here simply for aesthetic reasons even if you're pisspoor. no electrician would install anything like that, would have to be home made by a junkie or something
>>52749668
you are comparing a few stupid euros putting a fucking outlet inside a pool to a completely safe and shower head? You are even dumber than the average finngol virgin that comes to this board.
Also, read this >>52749687 you chinese cunt.
>>52749687
but we turn it off before we pour the water. also district heating is more common than boilers in white european countries.
>>52749687
This at least have insulated elements unlike this. >>52747903
We used to have uninsulated ones in the old days.
>>52749591
Beecause when I think of developed countries, Poland is the first thing that comes to mind.
Seriously, though, this has been posted all over the internet as an example of how stupid these guys are, and you use that to defend your shitty showers? Top fuking kek.
>>52749768
WHAT?? You are saying it's only safe because people use it properly? No shit sherlock.
Anyway, I gotta go, but please keep posting your honest opinion so I have something funny to read afterwards.
>>52749687
Yeah but we don't touch the water, we make tea out of it. It's off when pouring
>>52749812
I think he meant it as a response for the guy who said europeans are too smart to put electricity near water.
>>52749812
Thank you :)
>>52749735
We also don't like to see wires dangling but we make an exception for electric showers since its so common.
>>52749846
you're comparing three people who are stupid enough to disregard all safety and have been ridiculed for it for over a decade all over the internet to standard practices of a nation accepted by authorities and installed by professionals
>>52749886
You are making it a much bigger deal than it actually is, by sheer ignorance of how electricity works.
I'd looked up the statistics for electrical accidents in Brazil and showers are far behind most electronics. In fact, people are in a higher risk of death of slipping and falling in a bath tub. You just have have an irrational fear of electricity + water to be honest.
watch this iranian guy to learn a bit:

>Bare, alligator-clipped wire is perfectly safe in and around the shower, guys, you just don't get it!
>>52750111
I'm guessing you guys run a floating mains system. A "MEN" system is different.
>>52750211
>>52750218
If the live and the ground wire are very close, electricity barely spreads through water, specially if it's unsalted water. Did you watch the video? you could learn a thing or two.
Ok, but let's say you WANTED to kill yourself. The best way would be to hold the live and the ground wire with separate hands, preferably wet or cut your skin where you touch the wire. But even then, with the 110 standard of Brazil, it's more likely that the shock will be non-lethal. Turns out shower heads are not very good for suicide.

Never saw shower like this here in Chile
>>52750709
So what heats water for washing cloths or in the kitchen?
Here its so warm and sunny that it never gets cold enough to warrant heating the water, I'm fact the "cold" if you will, water is a god send on those hot noons.
Just 200 miles to the north east water heating is a necessity though.

Do sudacas actually integrate in spain or do they shit the country up? I am serously starting to wonder after this thread.

Either they are prostitutes/drug dealers or waiters/construction workers.
>>52756029
Most do. The young ones sometimes hang in the wrong places and with the wrong people and end up being ghetto shit but most adult ones are fine I've worked with many and they're cool this is all from personal experience though. They're mostly bluecollar as >>52756055 says and no we don't have these showerheads here maybe people in caravans and small cabins do but certainly not in normal housing not even sudacas, spics or moors.

Am I getting this right.
The showerhead has wires because it heats the water?
>>52756432
no, cuz it makes colder
do even russians have water?
>>52749687
Are you kidding me? Is this like a heater for the shower only? Don't tell me you on't have centralized heating..
omg you have like only one pipe going to shower?
>>52756473
>Russians
Look closer.
>>52756473
No, Russians bathe in snow and drink exclusively Vodka.
The water in Vodka comes from snow as well.

>not having a water boiler that creates hot water
>>52756830
but you live in a shitty wood houses
>>52756886
>not making your own with a steel barrel, heating element (can be anything from a fire to nichrome wire)
>not hooking that up to the shower head using insulated pipes.
>>52756830
Again, some people and the majority of business establishments do. But where there are no cases of people being electrecuted by these showers, there are a number of cases of gas leak-related deaths, leaving the populace distrusting of gas heaters even if they can afford it.
>>52756516
We mostly don't. Besides the electric showerhead, I also have an electric tap in the kitchen sink so I can do the dishes in the winter without losing my hands to hypothermia.
Wait, how do you regulate the temperature of the water? I'm not seeing any buttons.

>>52746506
Is this cheaper than gas heaters?
>>52756830
boilers and water heaters are only for 2nd class citizen here desu
normal people use centralized heating and get hot water in pipes instead of heating it themselves
