    Fixed shower head with electric shower?
    Can I have a fixed shower head with an electric shower. If yes, how - there is a flexible hose which emerges from the bottom of the shower unit. How does that connect to a fixed head?

    Thanks

    A electric shower has a cold water supply that runs to a instant heater that provides hot water for as long as the shower's on.

    Hey bob,
    This hose has to screw into the valve body at some point. Unscrew it and screw in a adapter. You may now pipe to a drop eared ell and install the shower arm and shower head. Good luck, Tom
