    Sorry no idea. Macs Salvage could have just about anything of any age. Usually they'd just have regular cast iron bath & it'd be mostly farmers buying them for troughs for the animals better known a drinkers.

    I did see one like this there awhile back.

    I spotted this whilst on Holiday during the summer in the Philippines. Health and Safety standards are great over there by the looks of it.

    Wheras an Irish electric shower would be discreetly wired and plumbed with the connections sealed inside the waterproof shower unit over there they take a more basic approach and just wire a socket next to the shower and fit your Electric shower and then plug it into the 220v mains.
