    Please help me settle an argument!

    FIL says that taking the shower head down from the riser rail effs up the electric shower. For reference, he's talking about showers like the one shown below (triton t90xr).
    I think that if you weren't supposed to take it out of it's holder, you wouldn't be able to and it would just be fixed to the riser rail or wall. Who's right?

    [mods, I'm not sure if this should have gone in the sticky or not...]

    If you take the shower head down one of two things happens.

    1. Some showers have a safety feature built in that makes it go cold so kids dont get scalded. Think about it.

    2. The water flows past the pump and heater too quick and does not heat propperly or is slowed down and heats too much.

    Its an incorrect way of operating the shower and says so in one of the manuals.

    This only applies to a t90 or mira elite as above. Pumped electric shower and needs to be dropped low

    Never heard about the first but fair enough

    But the second, youll get the same temperature itll just take a second to adjust for the change in pressure
