Thermostatic (Temperature-Stable) The shower's top priority is to keep the desired water temperature constant. Electric showers with thermostatic control are able to keep a stable temperature across the range from hot to cold, whilst also dealing with fluctuations in electrical and water supplies. As a result, there is a temperature limit the shower cannot go beyond. For safety, this temperature is factory set and cannot be adjusted to make the shower hotter or colder.
