Showers: Now with the cleaning power of ELECTRICITY!

What are the voltage and amperage ratings on your showerhead? What's that? You don't like to have exposed electrical wires in your showerhead? Wimp. What's the matter? Your sensitive skin can't handle the awesome cleaning power of electricity?

The above pic was taken in my bathroom here in Flores, Guatemala last night. These are typical all over the country. On-demand water heating. It leads to mostly lukewarm showers, although I've found two that were able to actually generate a hot shower. Of course, in one of those hot showers, I got mildly shocked when I touched the dial to adjust the water pressure. Just a little shock, though. Helps the shower really wake you up in the morning, I think.
