When getting an electric shower, there are some considerations. First is the rating and flow rate of the shower. The rating give in kilowatts are essentially a measure of the heat of the water. Higher the rating more is the amount of power consumed to make the water hotter. The flow rate determines how fast the water can come from the shower. This depends on the pumping action of the shower.
The temperature of the shower can be changed to get the right degree of hot water. Since it heats water, some of these showers can also double up as steam showers. The higher Kilo watt models in some brands come with the facility to convert water to steam and the same is sent out of the water. Steam baths can do marvels to a fatigued body.
Sometimes the whole setup can be wireless where the shower unit is embedded in the wall and can be remote controlled. Some of the expensive models have microprocessor built in them to control flow and pulsate it. The parameters like temperature, pressure and duration once set can be saved for use again.
