An instant shower needs enough water flow to switch on its heater. Check the water pressure and clean the shower head, make sure the breaker and cable match the shower's rating, and look for scale. Because water heaters involve mains power and water together, tripping, sparks or a burning smell mean switch off at the board and call a qualified electrician.
Key takeaways
- Enough water flow is needed.
- Scale blocks flow and heating.
- Breaker and cable must match the rating.
- Tripping or sparks: switch off, call an electrician.
