Lorenzetti Electric Shower Head/Suicide Shower. How to clean inside an electric suicide shower head.
Ғылым және технология
These kind of heated shower heads are often referred to as suicide showers. These shower heads from Lorenzetti and other brands generally have a bad reptuation due to the terrible wiring found around the world. The most common issue is people not earthing the shower head. Sometimes out of laziness and sometimes because the property simply doesn't have any grounding bar.
In this video I'm using the Lorenzetti Maxi 3T which is labelled as a 3200W Maxi Ducha.
Inside you'll find a diaphragm which is pushed up when water flows into the unit, causing contacts to close and the heating elements to be powered.
If you fail to ground the shower head, you'll likely feel a tingling sensation and perhaps some small sharp shocks. Due to the low conductivity of tap water and the water being turned into droplets, you're unlikely to suffer any major shock from the water itself. Ultimately you should always ensure the unit is grounded and passing through an RCD/GFCI to protect yourself from shocks.

Very informative
I can't believe i just started to insert a pin in all of the wholes from the outside without turning off the power. I got lazy and didn't "clean" the outter circle and thank goodness i didn't because now i see that i was going to hit the resistance coils directly and would've gotten shocked😮
Very clear and concise. Thank you
Very thorough explanation. Thank you.

I have a switch I flip on and off to use (different brand of elect. shower)...will switching it off count as turning 'power off'? thank you; enjoyed your voice and persona...subscribed.

Thank you so much Havad for your subscription to my channel and the compliment. Yes switching it off can count as turning power off but for extra caution and safety I recommend to switch off power from the main power meter box and if you are not sure I recommend you be guided by a qualified electrician who can show you where the main power meter box is. All this depends on the country you come from.
What could be the reason for getting shocks and very hot water from such a showerhead?

Gee I dunno, maybe the fact that it's plugged straight into the mains may have something to do with it.
Most of the time the cable is burned why ?

Most likely it's an electric fault, probably the wires were not properly connected, and if not so maybe there were naked wires that touched each other.
