Advantages: Requires only a cold water supply and electricty to produce a consistent shower. Disadvantages: It isn't an invigorating shower when the temperature is turned up.
the wall over the bath or shower tray) and this is then heated and released through the shower head. The faster the water is fed through the unit the cooler the water will be, so if you want an invigorating shower it?s going to have to be a cooler one. If you want a hot shower then you should think in terms of it being soothing.
