Electric shower / rainforest shower head

    I see all the literature / websites advertising rainforest shower heads magically appearing out of the ceiling, but they never appear to be connected to an electric shower. Vice versa, I see electric shower literature and they always have a hose coming out the bottom of the shower unit on the wall to a mundane shower head.

    Is it at all possible to (somehow - copper / plastic) connect an electric shower unit on the wall to a rainforest shower head mounted to the ceiling? Surely in this day and age someone has produced a kit that can screw on to a the electric shower unit and run the pipe subsurface up into the ceiling and then connect on to the rain forest shower head - or not?

    Regards

    I would suspect it's down to the volume of water you get out of an electric shower, may mean it's more of a light drizzle rather than rain forest.

    I'm sure you could get a capable plumber to do the piping for you if you really want to give it a try, have you tried talking to any local plumbers to see if they want the job?
     
  3. As Craig says - these 'rainheads' have large holes so's you get drownded. If you were to fit one of these to an electric shower, you would just be dribbled on :(.

    Leccy showers just can't provide the necessary flow.

    In theory it can be done, but you'd need to find a showerhead with teeny, tiny holes.
