So, my thoughts as an Electrical Engineer from Brazil:
It's pretty rare to get a shock from the shower head directly even if installed incorrectly due to the fact that the tap water in droplets doesn't conduct a lot of water and the shower head is made out of plastic. In properly installed residences, it has its sole running circuit from its own breaker to the shower and uses 220V power (we have both 110V/127V and 220V over here) to dissipate less heat in the wires. It is way more common that due to not installing the ground wire or the resistance correctly that it contacts the pipe (in older houses made out of steel) and give you a shock on the handles when opening or closing the water. In that case, a quick fix that most Brazilians do is either use a rubber mat or a rubber flip-flop (which is ubiquitous over here). To conclude, here the houses are made from brick and mortar and it's way more resistant to electrical fires compared to places like the US or Canada, where the insulating materials can be a hazard for high powered electrical appliances. In my opinion, having a gas pipe installed only for the shower is more hazardous than the solution we've got here, since heat is rarely a problem in a tropical country like ours.
The "grounding 220VAC" thing sounds insane, but otherwise it sounds like you guys have it locked down on these things. i would agree that a gasline is usually more dangerous than a 220VAC connection, especially when run through a GFCI or while operating in a home with RCI. Atleast there are those omnipresent fail safes that pop automatically, and electricity doesn't linger and present a massive fire hazard.
@@toilet_cleaner_man the electric shower I have as a backup to the solar assisted boiler I have in my house is a the same brand as his but it is a much much larger and has a maximum load of 7800w lol so it is connected to a 220V and a 50A breaker with thicker gauge wiring.
mines shower is 300A 120V
I just ground my new shower head with an eight foot copper rod buried in the ground. Ah, the happiness of opening and closing without the slightest fear of those inconvenient shocks when our nail is excessively cut. In time, you totally summed up the situation.
And yes, I can bet that there are more accidents in the US and Canada due to gas leaks, or even the explosion of the water tank than we have fatal victims of shock from that shower.
I've lived in a building whose builder was from Canada, it was an old building but they used a gas heater in each apartment that heated a 100-liter tank, one day the manometer gave out, and if my father hadn't gone to check it (he had started making noises), probably an accident would have happened. It's like the engineer already said, for each place the more they use it, the more they become experts in that subject and mitigate the risks.
@@toilet_cleaner_manIn Brazil we use RCD, which is almost a GFCI, except that it goes together with the circuit breakers, if there is any current leakage it trips, in Portuguese this piece is called Disjuntor DR.
I just renovated the electric installation in my bathroom here in Brazil, and I had to run 6mm wires for the shower into a 32A circuit breaker. You definitely DO NOT plug these into a regular outlet.

Let's also remember that water is a poor conductant. If it was salty water then it would be a whole diferent story. Here in Brazil we have the majority of showers eletrically heated and a minority heated by a buthane/methane mixture. It is common to read about asfixiation accidents related to gas heating, but in 53 year I've never heard of a deadly accident involving eletric showerheads. The wire gauge and breaker are highly regulated when you build a house.
I once heard about a fire involving electric showers, but I'm not sure if it was deadly
Yeah, it's mostly big apartments and fancy houses that have gas heating.
i have all three types. the main building in my house has central heating for water, the annex uses suicide showers, and i have an apartment in rio de janeiro that uses butane, which is by far the worst and most dangerous type. oh, i actually have a fourth type. at one of my farms there one which uses iron piping that goes through the fireplace's chimney and get heated that way. it also has a suicide shower on top of that but since it's the middle of nowhere it's exclusively powered by gas generators since power lines don't go there, so it doesn't get much use.
I could be wrong, so feel free to correct me, but I'm not aware of anything called buthane. Butane would be closest, but is typically only used in lighters and not for home heating. Usually, "natural gas" (at least that's what it's called where I'm from but I'm sure it varies country-to-country) is usually methane and ethane. Water is heated differently in different countries, and I don't know what the benefits and downsides are in each case. In terms of water heater tanks, the risk is always a steam explosion or Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE). It doesn't matter what the heat source is, but they are absolutely devastating. In terms of that, it may be smarter to heat smaller amounts of liquid directly at the source; similar to these shower-heads or on-demand heaters rather than a huge vat of water that could, if enough safety systems fail, reach the boiling point. I'm not particularly for or against any of these systems, but thought I'd add my two cents; maybe someone will teach me more!
@@massdefect1 Butane in mixture with propane happens to be used for heating, though in my area (Poland) pure propane is more popular as there are problems with butane when it's stored in negative temperatures (it doesn't evaporate or something like that).
Natural gas is used when you have access to gas pipleine, but otherwise you install one of those huge white tanks in the backyard, which gets refilled with propane, or mixture of propane and butane. Maybe some countries (e.g. in warmer regions of the world) use pure butane.
Mixture of propane and butane is used in those small 11kg gas cylinders to which you can connect the kitchen stove (if it's gas powered and you have no access to gas pipeline, or to that huge backyard tank).

I dont believe 7500 watts for a second.
@@scotts1668 i did the math, Watts are Volts * Amps so for 220V, its 220*19= 4180Watts, and for 150V (idk if the amps may change but) 150*19=2850Watts. If yours is 7000W that means you are dealing with 31Amps. (suposing a 220V AC) lol thats a pretty ineficient sh1t

@@arthurizando the wires can still catch on fire though. It happened to me, but luckily where they caught on fire was where the wires connect to the meter outside the house.
@@jadonclegg8684 I know that, but here "most" of the people that have those showers have the proper wiring.
@@arthurizando does it draw 19 amps 😂😂
@@realcartoongirl yes
Well I Installed and replace the resistance in a bunch of these back in Brazil. We do have thicker wires running for those, and there were some older models that the case was made of metal and would give you a little shock when installed improperly and touched. Even 110v house would usually have a second phase to run things like this in 220v, specially in the south where it gets really cold in the winter. Houses in Brazil are not made of paper like here so that helps with the not setting everything on fire as well.
A funny comeback is that other countries are the brave ones for running piped gas everywhere and within their house.
Either way I have never heard of anyone gettin hurt with these showers, and Brazilians alone probably take daily showers equivalent to the rest of the world together.
Speaking truths! Americans freak out when they see those shower heads but forget they have open flames sometimes on 20+ year old boilers in their basements and piped, pressurized gas running within their walls, and that added to the fact that homes here in the US are built out of wood. 😅 but those showers are the dangerous ones. Go figure!

@@guedesfhp Eh, people fear what they dont know about, so it is not a weird reaction, silly though, yes.
The "House in Brazil are not made of paper" made me giggle 😂
One problem when I see with this kind of video, is that even the most technical ones seems to ignore the fact that safety regulations do exist outside of north America. Like, there as a bunch of rules and regulations to make sure that the wiring of the house are done correctly, even if we have to admit that most people want to ignore that, but electricians have to follow the guidelines regardless.
I'll be -hopefully- a electrical engineer by the end of this year, and a lot of my dally activity is read those boring norms to not kill myself in the future. lol
@@MarcosAlmeidakirito Of course there's safety regulations outside of the US, but I do question how many people ignore those considering even in the US, I've seen some.. Not very legal wiring (Hell, I live in one of those houses right now loll).

As a brazilian, providing you install it according to the specs, I can tell you it's super safe and more eco friendly than gas shower.
Also, pretty much every brazilian I know got a few electrical discharges from "suspicious" places, like when you go to some sketchy air BNB, or some hostel in the middle of nowhere, or some high poverty area.
I've got a few of those myself from the shower faucet, and it's not "terrible".
Not pleasant, but def not gonna kill you or anything.
PS: Also in those sketchy places we would shower using rubber sandals to prevent that lol.
In fact, more eco friendly here in Brazil. In many places, like England for example, energy comes from burning oil, charcoal, whatever.

Greetings, I'm Brazilian and really here in Brazil 90% of households use electric showers, and there are very few reports of accidents involving electric showers. Few residences use gas showers, in buildings and buildings it is more common to use showers with gas heating due to the number of residents, if they were electric showers the installations would not support such an electric current. Our electric showers range from 5,500W to 7,800W with very high currents. Our houses are prepared with their own installations and exclusive for this equipment, copper wires of up to 10mm² and circuit breakers of up to 50A are used to support it! Hugs!
*_>Few residences use gas showers._*
Are those U-boat descendants?
We have two of these showerheads in our house. The first one was installed by an (unauthorized) electrician. It shocks me occasionally when I touch the faucet. I don’t like using it lmao. The second one was installed by my mom who is definitely not an authorized electrician either, but she still managed to make a better job with the second one. It does not shock me! Although the ground cable is definitely just hanging out in the air. It terrifies me still. Thanks mom!

Loveeeeeeed your video. Brazilian and I used to have my house on 110V, so my Shower Head of Doom ran on ~50A. Usually in Brazil, the electric project of the house is designed to support that high amperage. But besides that, I have never heard anything about any of those catching fire, the worst case that might happen with those is poor insulation so you might get a slight discharge on the water valves. Nothing that a towel doesn't solve (Brazilian kids learn about insulation instinctively)
It's funny because these showers, especially from the Lorenzetti brand, are widely used throughout Latin America because of the low cost, I'm from Costa Rica and here at least 80% of showers are of that type. These showers are dangerous only because most people install them improperly without connecting the ground to save money on hiring an electrician. I myself have one well installed and the only problem is the durability of the heating elements, after 4 years it is common to replace them or the entire shower.
Mehdi: "So if this is installed absolutely correctly by a professional..."
We, brazilians: "Lemme look on youtube how to fix my shower without powering my house down..."
thiagots85 also we: how can I build a shower with a water gallon and an a “maybe not” isolated extension cord! HAHAHAHAH

I installed the shower by myself and didn't bother to install the ground wire. In other hand, I always wear flip flops at shower, huehuehue.
@@KamuiPan 1.in eastern Europe, if you've got enough money, you can even buy your doctors degree.
A title means nothing, if it's holder can't do shit he's supposed to
2. Power outlets right next to shower pipes would be a total nightmare for ne as a learned electrician.
3. As he demonstrated, these things pull a shitload of current even when heating just a little. Normal house wiring is rated for 19.5A (breaker at 16) when installed inside walls or a max of 29A (breaker at 25) when placed inside a double ceiling or similar, where there is air around the cable, meaning it has a very good potential of setting your whole damn house on fire with burning cables if you're not careful enough.
To be clear, I'm talking about usual 2.5mm² wires, usually used for outlets. There are some applications (like in everyday European bathrooms WITHOUT a outlet or inside most campers/ trains/ buses where they only use 1.5mm² changing this to 16.5/16A to 21/20A
@Joshua M Generally speaking, most sinks don't have the option for hot water(maybe because here is so hot that it warms up by itself), however, the few that actually have it work pretty much the same way as the shower heads. This video is pretty nice, even though it's in portuguese: I'm sure sure you will at least be able to see how the user end works.

"Besides that it has loose wires and may set your house on fire, it seems pretty safe" 😂
They are quite safe to run if you properly follow the code (which you didn't). In Brazil the way we set them up is by getting a split phase 220v dedicated circuit with very thick wiring just for the showerhead. You can't get shocked by the water and it is against code to wire it to a regular wall socket or without ground. You are supposed to use Wago connectors that can handle very high amperage and the shower head have to be set up very tall, cables should be unreachable and perfectly isolated inside the wall conduit (walls are supposed to be made out of concrete and not cardboard like in north america btw).

Commonly it is used 6 to 8mm wires alongside 50A 1 or 2-phase breakers(Disjuntor in Portuguese).
Gas central heating is not very common in Brazil and the prices make it less common. Even though most of the houses that have central heating use gas cylinders, there are few locations where you can find gas pipes.

Says “ill pick a different title“
Used shower head of DOOOOOOOOOOM
Using an electric shower requires some care that we learned as a child in Brazil. The shower should not be close to the head; the temperature selector switch must not be touched while it is on; taking a shower using rubber slippers is recommended in places where the electrical installation is precarious; and there must be a circuit breaker just for the shower. Electric shocks in the bathroom are common, but they are usually minor. I believe that the main risk of electric showers is the fires they can cause. We already had a shower that caught fire in my house, and it has also occurred to me that I was in the bathroom on a day of hydraulic instability and the shower element turned on by itself, causing a near fire that I managed to prevent by turning it off immediately (if I hadn't been there seeing it, it would have caught fire).
Man, when he showed the voltage thing i was like 'Makes sense, guess it just turns on for a bit then stops as itll keep the heat'
Then when he got confused, ripped it out, completely disassembled it I was heavily in the mindset of 'Wait, this guys smarter then me- then... what is going on? Dang, I know nothing about electronics.'
Followed by a good old ego boost! Huzza!
Followed by confusion as I totally forgot this was about a shower.
What a weird rollercoaster of emotions.

"besides the loose wires and the fact that it may set your house on fire" but we do not use loose wires, instead in every home here, the shower have a special outlet (way above the showerhead) and they proper hight current circuit apart of the house's circuit, which helps with theses two topics "loose wires" and "set your house on fire" :D
"1 minute on, 1 minute off, 1 minute on, 1 minute off" -> a.k.a. very low frequency PWM
aka mechanical thermostat.

Gianluca Ghettini well it deepens, it seems to me that it changes the frequency not the duty cycle like in PWM where there is a fixed frequency and changes the on and off duration (or it just has a thermostat)
Afaik, it wouldn't be a PWM because it's turning off and back on (i.e. 0hz->normal hz), right?
You'd be better off just making an timer based on the clock of the oven that ticks it on and off.

we have those but it installed way higher, i'm 1,75m and I need to get on the tip of my toes to change the temperature, this way the water falls in little drops and not a continuos jet and therefore it's not conected to the heating element.
9:04 "and you know people they may not connect the ground properly"
well....... in my shower, there isn't a ground wire
I can imagine this guy's phone conversation with his wife:
"Honey, why is the fire squad at our home again?"
"Oh, I was trying to see if I could electrocute myself with a shower head. Turns out, no, it won't electrocute you, but it may set your house on fire."
"Uh-huh."
" Oh! And I got a new sponsor, too!"
And we may need a new spoon.
"it seems pretty safe"
Unless neutral wire breaks. A great gift for a "favorite" relative.
WELCOME TO BRAZZZZILLLLLLL
yep. neutral wire breaking or melting is a real risk. We do mitigate that most cases by providing adequate wiring.
Actually not, if overheating starts by the lack of neutral the element will just melt together with the plastic connections it's design to do it, the place will probably smell of burned plastic but that' it, I never have heard of any fire cause by a shower like this. Actually there's more deaths linked to fires or accidents in home boiler installations then with these eletric showers.
Electro boom I like every time when you say hi in your video it just starts it off funny😂
had one of those in my apartment for like 2 weeks as they were still instaling the heater. It barely made water warm, I was so glad when I took it off
did you put the knob in 'inverno'?
Me: *searching "suicide shower head"*
ElectroBOOM: *Top result*
Also ElectroBOOM: "I will pick a different title, so the video won't show in the same search"
Nope! Bigclivedotcom gets the top search result on Google, sorted by videos :D
@@CMDRSweeper Searching "Suicide Shower Head" on the CZcams app gives ElectroBOOM's video first.
He said suicide shower that many times he fucked up the search anyways.
Imagine you click on this video and skip to 8:24 with no context 😂😂
Even with context.....I was at once scared, intrigued, and dismayed.
@@michaelfingers7726 I was reading comments before watching video and I can agree im confused now
*Gets demonitized
LOL
Audio only is even better
You said those things could use an insulated heating element, but that's actually not possible considering how fast it has to heat the water running through it constantly.
The little bit at 0:37 killed me. That was excellent, well played sir.
8:24 (waterboards self)
"I feel nothing."
*FBI wants to know your location*
More like CIA noises

@@ithaca2076 Looks like that one Spiderman meme.
after the oven i forgot that the video was about the shower lol
Same
Damn. You read my mind.
8:55 ‘Besides these loose wires and the fact that it may set your house on fire, it seems pretty safe’ 😂
Where was this guy when I was in school?! Oh how my life choices would have been different. I most certainly wouldn't be alive but I'd have been an electrician 😂

ElectroBOOM: “When the water comes to your eyes or your mouth, it can really hurt”
Also ElectroBOOM: *_lets try it out_*
Its like he _wants_ to die
Don't we all want to at some level though?
"I feel nothing!"
Why is your profile picture gacha
@@XxchildpredatorxX good question
If he had tried the suicide shower that Diode Gone Wild has tested he could have died. Indeed the one he tries here does not have a so bad quality.
“Hi! In my previous video about getting electrocuted in a bathtub” is a sentence I thought I would never hear
I'm from Brazil, it's 2022 I'm 35 yo still alive and clean. One or two baths every day since I was born. My mother 80, still alive and dad 83, still alive, baths everyday too. Cheers from the electric shower country. I'm installed my shower and I'm not a professional BTW haha In Brazil we are born with the sambalêlê
I use this device to fill my outdoor pool in the winter cause it never gives up and I can relax in a cheap hot tub for an hour. Everything has it's use.
@8:20 my dad opened the door..
".. and bring my tongue as close as possible, nghghghnghggh I feel nothing"
My dad closed the door
Hahaha!
Dad : “What were you watching”
Brain : “don’t tell him you are watching an electrician electrocute himself. Huh, what other videos are available on internet ?”
Me : “It was a pornography video”
Who says dad was outside when he closed the door? O.o
Lmao 😂
30%of this video: showerhead of doom
70%of this video: THE STUPID OVEN
I love that half of this video is a somewhat unrelated and dangerous tangent about an oven's heating element
Love you dude. I always look forward to your videos to get a good laugh! Thank you!
"Besides the fact that it may set your house on fire it is safe."
Thank you, sensei
sensei means a japanese karati teacher lol uur way off
@@kovanpulkinen8205 Sensei, is a japanese title, given to a teacher or an honoured individual, such as a doctor.
@@gjune36 Ok i was close enough and you probably searched it up atleast i didnt.
@@kovanpulkinen8205 I used to watch a lot of anime and used to like Japanese movies.
@@gjune36 simply writting "your right and i was wrong" hurts more than a 240V shock on the internet.
3:55
" i mean for around 200V AC, *throws in an ad* i mean $200 dollars.."
this guy is the best.
At my home it's for 240 VAC Lolz
I remember having to use one in Guatemala for about 6 months. It was an interesting experience. Especially while wearing jewelry. Turning on the water was the easy part. Touching the knob to turn the water off is where the adventure was.
Damn. Just missed the give away by 2 years lol. Thinking about one and ive been binge watching your vids, they are great thank you 😎 glad to see it in real world use
In Brazil we usually use the -240V- 220V (typo) version because of the lower wire diameter needed and most houses doesn't have any grounding.
Sounds like a fun seizure for the babys that like sticking forks in stuff
that's why we don't let them do it
@@ironicman6731 here in brazil this is the least of our concerns as a child hahahahahhhha
Hey, when I was two I did it, now I'm standing here, seventeen and all, with only minor brain damage!
No ground... We Just wire It to the neutral!!!! Bang.. welcome to Brasil
Back in college, I helped a friend install one of these in his room. Neither of us have any knowledge regarding electrical engineering
And did he.... 9:57
This is the essence of Brazil. Install shower without any knowledge about. A lot of gambiarras LoL
@@LucasLima-nj2hx usually you just grab the cables and connect them and use it. There is not a lot of science behind xd
@@LucasLima-nj2hx
Not gambiarras, they're _technical adaptations,_ than you very much :P
@@JoseFerreira-nk5kq Yeah exept if the connection of the neutral conductor is loose and it's not grounded, or you touch a bad isolated phase (wet and only isolated with scotchtape), you gona die. Change the conductivity of the water (Drop salt or dirt in the tank on the roof) and it will kill you too. In fact there is a lot of science behind.
This is the best video I have seen so far. Never have I learned so much while laughing.
9:05 "and you know people, they may not connect the ground properly"
I can assure you we connect ground to neutral properly.
Welcome to Electroboom, where we dissect the oven during a shower head video
"KUH-NOB" 🤣
Love your videos!!

Make sure to pronounce knife as "KUH-NIFE" too.
This is my favourite channel rn, I don't even care about electrical engineering, but I carefully focus on what he is saying. Not to mention his near death experience.
how I find it incredible is that he is so certain of his own things that he knows there is no danger and everything is carefully planned
Im brazilian and i must say i was always scared to use the shower in my mom's house because i was afraid id get a shock from the faucet xd
Eu sempre tenho medo de usar chuveiro eletrico, ainda mais o meu que é grande mas muuito antigo.
Eu ainda NÃO SEI como eu não levei choque hehehehe
Tipo, os fios não tão expostos mas tem uns lugares q eu vejo q se eu meter a mão eu levo
@@zeKotako Eu ainda tenho medo, uma vez eu tava tomando banho e ele pegou FOGO!
I have seen you somewhere
Desculpa dizer, mas isso tá me cheirando a riquinho hahaha
Mas o chuveiro a gás esquenta melhor mesmo.
