EMSD urges the public not to install shower heads with on/off valve for "Shower Type" storage electric water heaters (with photo)
******************************************************************************************
Shower heads with on/off valves available in the market are not suitable for use with the "Shower Type" storage electric water heaters, as the on/off valve will hinder the release of pressure inside the water heater, and thus lead to explosion when there is excessive pressure.
Shower heads with on/off value, which may vary in designs, look similar to other shower heads. One example of such shower head available in the market is shown in the photo. If in doubt, the public should consult suppliers of relevant electric water heaters or contact the EMSD through 1823.
