agree airmailrpl : The most common and most popular way to get a hot shower in Brazil - but not the cheapest...electricity cost in Brasil is one of the highest in the world - and these electric shower heads pull up to 25 amps of current.

Thank you. These shower heads can cost under R$ 30, tho in some cases need to be replaced often.
agree Lindsay Spratt : Agree, but they don't always go hot enough for my standards! :)
