Instantaneous electric water heater for shower: types, how to choose the best

To solve the problem of constant hot water supply in the bathroom, the easiest way is to install an electric instantaneous water heater on the shower. It has significant advantages over a storage device, which we will discuss in detail in this article. Let’s also pay attention to the disadvantages, the main one being the need for a special approach when providing electricity.

Also in this material we will provide recommendations for choosing a suitable water heater, including calculation of sufficient power. We will identify the best manufacturers of electric models, focusing on installation and maintenance. After all, for uninterrupted operation it is necessary not only to correctly calculate the parameters, but also to carry out the installation professionally.

What are the advantages of instantaneous water heaters?

When we talk about water heaters, we most often imagine a boiler with a large storage tank - a tank that contains heated water. Flow-through models do not have such tanks; this is a device with very modest dimensions. With its help, you can heat not accumulated, but running water.

Moreover, its transformation into hot occurs almost instantly. By adjusting the water pressure, you can simultaneously change the degree of its heating.

An electric instantaneous water heater is a compact device that will not take up much space, but will effectively solve the problem of hot water

The operating principle of a flow-through heater is simple. Inside a small box there is a tubular electric heater (TEH) or a spiral. This heating element is washed with a small amount of water. As a result of this contact, heat exchange occurs - the water becomes hot.

If the speed of water movement is increased, its outlet temperature will decrease. And with low pressure it becomes hotter.

The advantages of such a device are obvious:

the water heats up quickly, you won’t waste time waiting;
the device does not require any installation space: it is compact;
its operation allows you to significantly reduce energy costs: the water becomes hot exactly when the need arises, it does not need to be periodically heated;
This device costs much less than a heater equipped with a large storage tank.

It is not difficult to purchase such a device; it is much more difficult to make a choice among the wide variety of devices of this type. Not only domestic, but also foreign manufacturers specialize in creating these models.

Products from Thermex, Electrolux, Ariston, Garanterm, Gorenje and others are widely represented on the market.

Such heaters are produced in different modifications. To avoid mistakes, you should have a good understanding of water heaters and know which parameters can play a decisive role for you, and which you can simply ignore.

This is what one of the models of the Thermex brand instantaneous water heater looks like, which is popular among a large number of users

You can calculate the required power of an instantaneous water heater, mount it and connect it to the water supply yourself. The greatest difficulty is in the safe supply of electricity to the device. Choosing a well-known manufacturer will ensure a quick solution to problems in the event of a device breakdown .

Do you want to ensure year-round availability of warm water in your shower by installing a flow-through water heater model, but your friends convince you that such a solution is ineffective? Ask your questions under this article - real owners of instantaneous water heaters will share with you their experience of use and their own opinion on the advisability of installing it.

What should be the power of the device?

How quickly the water reaches the desired temperature depends on the power of the device. Agree, the correct selection for this parameter is very important. To determine the power requirements of the device, you need to know for what purposes it will be used, as well as the approximate volume of water that will be consumed.

We are going to buy a shower device, but we can assume that the water heated with it will be useful in the kitchen and for other hygiene procedures.

An approximate picture of the consumption of heated water may look like this:

consumption in the kitchen: at 45-55ºС at a speed of 3-5 l/min;
shower use: at 35-40ºС at a speed of 4-8 l/min;
for washing hands: 35-36ºС at a speed of 2-4 l/min;
for taking a bath: 37-40ºС at a speed of 8-10 l/min.

To calculate the power of a future electric instantaneous water heater for a shower, a special formula is used:

P = Qx(T1 - T2)x0.073

where the following notations are used:

P – power in kW required for the water heater;
Q – the number of liters of water passing through the device per minute;
T1 – temperature of heated water leaving the device;
T2 – temperature of cold water entering the heater.

For example, let's determine the power of a shower device. The average speed of liquid passage through the heating device is 6 liters per minute. Our comfort temperature for taking a shower is 40ºС. If you imagine that it is winter, then the initial temperature of the water entering the heater will not be higher than 5ºC. Substituting the values into the formula, we get P=6x(40-5)x0.073 = 15.33.

With a flow heater power of 3.7 kW, you can heat 2.2 liters of water in one minute, and with a power of 24 kW, you already get 13 liters of hot water in the same time

It turned out that the power of the water heater we need should not be lower than 15 kW. Of course, we took the maximum temperature, because in winter not every user will be satisfied with lower values.

When using heated liquid for a number of purposes, as we have outlined, you need to make a calculation for each direction of flow and focus on the maximum of the results obtained.

However, an even simpler calculation method can be used if the outlet water temperature is taken as 35ºC. The performance of an appliance can be calculated by simply dividing its power by two.

Let's say we want to buy a device whose power is 16 kW. With the same initial temperature data (35 and 5 degrees Celsius), it will flow 16:2 = 8 liters of water per minute.

If the device will be used at several water collection points, then the required power of the device should be increased at least twice, taking into account the fact that we will take the maximum of the obtained power calculation results as a basis.

But you should remember that if you are purchasing a device for an older house, the flow-through heater cannot have a power higher than 3.5 kW. Otherwise, you can burn out the wiring or fuses located in the staircase panel. To prevent this from happening, you should discuss the issue of installing the device with a specialist from the management company.

More powerful devices of 8 kW-36 kW are installed in country cottages and modern residential complexes, but, again, after consultation with a specialist who is able to assess the capabilities of your electrical equipment.

Nuances of connection and operation

For trouble-free operation of an instantaneous water heater, you will need to study the principle of its operation and know the basic technical characteristics of the device. There are also connection and maintenance nuances that will allow you to avoid problems during its operation.

How to properly connect a water heater?

There are water heaters with bottom, top and side water supply. In bathrooms, as a rule, the lower version is used. It is necessary to determine the optimal connection method before purchasing the device, since it is prohibited to install it in a different position.

Connecting to cold water occurs in two ways:

to the shower connector of the faucet-shower switch;
directly to the cold branch of the water supply.

The first method leaves the possibility of using a standard water tap to obtain cold water bypassing the water heater.

In a user-designed plumbing system, shut-off valves cannot be used after an instantaneous water heater. Otherwise, this will lead to overheating even if there is a thermal sensor shutdown function. This rule is directly stated in the instructions for many devices.

A typical option for connecting a flow device to a cold water system. The shower switch and faucet are located before the water heater, and after it the flow is free

According to the electrical safety requirements regulated for hygienic premises by GOST R 50571.7.701-2013 , sockets for 220 volts in bathrooms must be installed in the third zone (further in plan than 60 cm from the shower, bathtub or sink faucet) and comply with the degree of protection IPX4 or higher.

IPX1 class sockets can be installed at a distance of more than 3 meters from water supply points .

Despite the fact that the instantaneous water heater is designed for wet rooms and has good tightness, when choosing an installation location, it is necessary to take into account the undesirability of a direct stream of hot water. This causes the case to heat up, which will negatively affect the tightness of the connections and the performance of the control panel. In addition, the ingress of water reduces the strength of fixation of the device to the wall.

Fastening to the wall occurs using standard methods using screws. The weight of the device is from 1 to 3 kg, so there is no need to take any measures for reinforced installation. Some owners do without fixing the device, but this should not be done, as there is a risk of the device falling and depressurizing during its operation, which is dangerous for people in the room.

Do you want to install a instantaneous water heater yourself? We recommend that you read the step-by-step installation instructions.

If it is not possible to install the water heater outside the bath or shower, then it should be placed as high as possible. In this case, the amount of water falling on it will decrease.

Recommendations for operation and maintenance

In addition to wiping the surface of the water heater with soapy water, periodic maintenance involves changing the filter installed on the cold water supply.

To do this, perform the following actions:

disconnect the device from the power supply;
close the water supply tap;
unscrew the hose;
remove and wash the mesh filter;
Reassemble the device in reverse order.

For trouble-free operation, it is important to configure the equipment correctly.

The water temperature must be adjusted in the following order:

Open the tap and wait for water to flow out of the water heater.
Turn on the water heater. After 10 seconds the temperature will become constant.
If the temperature is not suitable for taking a shower, then change it by adjusting the pressure and operating modes of the water heater.

After each action to change the water supply pressure or the power of heating elements, you must wait 10-15 seconds to establish constant temperature values.

We have provided detailed instructions for operating and maintaining the water heater in this article.

Types of instantaneous electric water heaters

There are 2 types of flow heaters:

pressure;
non-pressure.

Pressure types of devices

To install devices of this type, it is necessary to invite specialists. With their help, you can get heated water from any tap in your home. The pressure model is inserted into hot or cold water supply pipes.

Models come with top and bottom connections, which makes it easy to choose a model that is suitable for convenient installation.

To install an electric pressure water heater, you must contact specialists. Connection is made to hot or cold water supply pipes

These devices turn on automatically under the influence of water pressure. It is for this reason that they received such a name. These devices are available in different power ratings. You just need to choose the one that suits you. They are very convenient in the absence of centralized water supply.

Gravity flow devices

A feature of non-pressure devices is their ability to function from only one water intake point. Therefore, such a device must be purchased separately for each tap from which heated water will flow. But they are pre-equipped with shower and kitchen attachments. The power of such devices does not exceed 8 kW.

Non-pressure devices can only work with one water intake point: the number of hot water sources we need, the number of such water heaters we need to buy

Such devices are optimally suited for small country houses, which are used mainly in the warm season. It is ineffective to use them in apartments or country cottages.

This division into types and areas of use immediately oriented the majority of users towards the right purchase. Now you probably know what type of flow-through heaters you need.

There is another classification feature for instantaneous electric water heaters.

They are:

single-phase;
three-phase.

In this case, choosing is easy. If the apartment has one phase, then a single-phase device is needed. If the house has three phases, then you should focus on the power requirements of the device. The power of a single-phase device does not exceed 12 kW, while the power of three-phase models is in the range of 11-27 kW. In this case, it is no longer possible to doubt the choice.

How to install?

A small water heater can be placed under the sink or “hide” in a special cabinet.

First you need to turn off the water in the house. Then you need to install the outlet adapter in the intended location using fumilent (a thin synthetic sealant). Installation of the electric drive is carried out in accordance with the instructions for connecting heating electrical wiring. On the other hand, the wire can be connected to the socket of the washing machine.

Then you need to attach the heater to the wall, in the pre-prepared holes. Then you need to connect the device to the general water supply system. To do this, the valve is connected to the inlet pipe, and a hose or cermet pipe is connected to the valve. Next, install the faucet or shower mixer that is included with the water heater. At the final stage, you need to test the installed product.

A small water heater can be easily hidden from prying eyes.

We check the quality of components

The most important element of a water heater is the heating element. Instead, a spiral can be installed, which is not so significant. The main thing is that this part is reliably protected from scale. Other parts in contact with water are made of brass or high-quality copper.

In addition, the product body must be reliable and durable.

The shower head that comes with an electric instantaneous water heater must be made of durable materials

A mixer may be included with the device. When inspecting it, pay special attention to the shower head. It needs to be made from a material that has a long service life.

Check that there are many small holes on its working surface. This is necessary to provide a strong stream with low water pressure. Don't forget to clear these holes of scale. If they become clogged, the device may overheat.

Consumer Metrics

Modern instantaneous water heaters are safe devices that can provide reliable and efficient water heating. When choosing a device, you must understand that its efficiency depends not only on the parameters specified by the manufacturer, but also on the inlet water temperature. This can be seen from the formula discussed above. The smaller the difference (T1 - T2), the faster the outlet temperature rises. This has two useful consequences that increase the service life: energy is saved and the process of scale formation slows down.

The durability of flow-through heaters directly depends on the characteristics of the heating element and the flask in which it is placed; The operating time is affected by the following parameters:

Closed (dry) heating elements work more reliably than open (wet) ones.
Plastic flasks have lower thermal conductivity and are less reliable than metal ones. Among metal flasks, those made of stainless steel are distinguished by their special quality, and those made of copper are the most efficient.

If you value reliability, give preference to heating elements with ceramic coating ; They are famous for their durability and fast heating of water.

High-quality modifications are distinguished by a multi-level protection system, which contains the following components:

Automatic shutdown . If the water supply to the system stops or the pressure changes (in any direction), the shutdown system comes into effect and the heater stops working.
Reliable insulation . The waterproof protective shell prevents contact of electrical elements with water. The device is also reliably protected from mechanical damage.
Surge protection . The RCD built into the faucet reacts to a sharp increase in voltage in the network and turns off the water heater, preventing its damage.
Water temperature control . The sensor maintains the set temperature, turning the heating element on or off if necessary. Thanks to the operation of this device, water at the required temperature is supplied uninterruptedly, and overheating is prevented.

Types of control systems

You can control the water heater using the following systems:

hydraulic;
electronic

Hydraulic water heater control system

The operating principle of the hydraulic system is simple. A hydraulic unit with a membrane and a rod, located inside the device, acts on the switch lever. The switch itself can be in the following positions: turning on the first power stage, turning off and turning on the second power stage.

If you open the tap, the membrane moves, causing the rod to push the switch. When the pressure is low, the first stage is switched on, and when the flow increases, the second stage is switched on. Stopping the water supply moves the lever to the off position. There are also models up to 6 kW, in which there is only one power level.

The control system is not very reliable, because with low pressure it may not work at all. And what pressure is weak for a particular model can only be determined experimentally. Models with such control do not have protection against air penetration, their power changes jerkily and they cannot maintain the desired temperature regime on their own. Experts do not recommend using such systems if there are several water intake points.

Electronic control system

Special microprocessors and sensors are responsible for the power and pressure in heaters controlled by an electronic system. The heater operation is adjusted automatically. The purpose of its work is to ensure that the water leaving the device has an optimal temperature. Particularly pleasing is the fact that the system allows you to significantly save energy.

The electronic control system is more efficient and modern than the hydraulic one; it can be used in any home and ensure the functioning of several water intake points

There are two types of electronic control systems:

models that are configured using keys and indicators so that they allow you to set the desired temperature of the consumed water;
models that can not only maintain a given temperature, but also regulate the water flow itself.

By choosing the right control system, you can organize a water supply in the house that will provide its owner with true comfort.

Electronically controlled devices can be installed in any type of housing. They can also handle multiple water intake points. The downside is the price of a device with such a device - of course, it costs more. And if it breaks, which happens very rarely, then the entire expensive unit will have to be replaced. However, it still turns out that those who prefer a device with an electronic control system are winners.

Choosing an installation location

The easiest way is to install a boiler near a branch of the water supply system in the area between the riser and the plumbing fixture. The water heater can be left in the kitchen, bathroom, or toilet. Less commonly, the device is installed in corridors.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with How to line an iron stove with bricks in a country house

Bathroom

Separate bathrooms have a large passage capacity, allowing several residents to carry out hygiene procedures at the same time.

When installing a water heater in a bathroom, consider the following points:

The room most often has a minimum area (no more than 4 m²).
Due to the lack of free space, storage water heaters are inconvenient to install.
There are no risers for sewerage, cold water and hot water, which does not allow making a box.
For the bath and sink use one rotary mixer or two separate taps.
One wall is occupied by a bathtub, the other by a heated towel rail.

Combined bathroom

Combined bathroom.

A combined bathroom is present in Khrushchev apartments. Hidden installation of the boiler is carried out during the renovation of secondary housing.

The drive can be installed using several methods:

in the niche behind the toilet;
in a box for water supply pipes;
under the washbasin in the cabinet;
in the closet above the washing machine or toilet;
on the mezzanine above the door.

When using the last two methods, connecting the device to the pipeline causes difficulties. Violation of the tightness of connections leads to damage to furniture or household appliances.

Toilet

The toilet is the smallest room in the apartment; in a private house, a large area is allocated for this room. Plumbing fittings, metering devices, and water supply risers are located here. The project includes a niche located behind the toilet, or a box for masking pipes. These structures are used to hide the water heater.

Availability of additional functions

The main function for which the device is purchased is its ability to provide the house with hot water when the need arises.

However, this device may have other useful properties that may also be in demand by users.

The presence of a high-precision temperature sensor allows the instantaneous water heater to maintain the temperature of the water flow at the level chosen by the user

Among them:

Thermal limiter. A small sensor built into the heater will prevent it from overheating, which means it will increase not only the safety of its use, but also its service life.
High precision temperature sensor. The presence of such a function will allow you to heat water with an accuracy of one degree, eliminating possible temperature changes.
Child lock. The function will not allow the child to turn on the heater independently. This function can be replaced by limiting the temperature regime to a threshold of 60°C.
Periodic heating mode to maximum temperature. This mode allows you to disinfect water, improving its quality.
A function that reduces water pressure and temperature during prolonged use of the device. This additional feature provides energy savings.
Heating programming function. Programmed water heating can be activated via a timer. The program can be set for a day or a week.

Having a remote control for the water heating system is also considered convenient. It allows you to turn on and off the desired modes while away from home. The use of the remote control is especially effective if the device operates in a large country cottage.

Expensive equipment always attracts the attention of children, but not every device can be used as a toy, so child lock is a necessary additional feature.

How to choose?

Before purchasing, you should decide which heater is more suitable for you - gas or electric. Since we are selecting an instantaneous water heater for a shower stall, a gas water heater is best suited, of course, if you have the appropriate communications in your apartment. If they are not available, you should choose an electric one, but before purchasing, be sure to find out the capabilities of your electrical network.

It is also worth checking in the store exactly what power this water heater model is designed for; this criterion depends on how many liters of water you expect to spend, since the same device may only be enough to heat water for washing dishes and certainly not for a shower .

For taking a shower, a flow-through water heater will be the most suitable.

In addition, ask your consultant about the degree of electrical safety of the device. Some water heaters are resistant to direct water contact with the body, and some cannot even tolerate water vapor. Also, the degree of electrical protection shows the resistance to mechanical damage of the device.

When purchasing, you should consult how the flow heater is installed and how complicated it is. You need to know this in order to estimate in advance whether you can install the device yourself, or whether you will have to invite a professional for a certain fee. Also ask how available replacement parts are and how much they will cost you.

On the modern market, the main part of instantaneous water heaters is represented by such manufacturers as Kospel, Thermex, Electrolux, AEG, Redring, Timberk, Clage. Prices for these brands range from 3.5 to 25 thousand rubles. The cost of the model accordingly depends on the power and number of additional functions of the device. For example, the heating element of Italian Thermex devices is equipped with a special ceramic filler, and the highest quality copper is used to make the flask.

Modern water heaters do not detract from the interior at all, and even, to some extent, decorate it.

Of course, before purchasing, you need to find out the warranty period of the product, request the appropriate coupon and find out the addresses of the nearest services.

Preparing for installation

At the preparatory stage, the installation location is selected, tools and materials are purchased, and a connection diagram is drawn up.

To complete the work you will need the following components and additional elements:

Plumbing, construction tools. Wrenches, pliers, a hammer drill, a set of screwdrivers, wire cutters, and a tape measure will come in handy.
Materials for arranging a water supply system. You will need metal-plastic pipes, flexible hoses, adapters, sealing tape, tow, and shut-off valves.
Materials for connecting the device to the electrical network. Use three-wire wires, an automatic fuse, and a socket.

Features of a country shower

A heated summer shower for a dacha is an important component of comfort on a plot of land; the main feature is that it is used in both cold and hot weather.
On a warm summer day, you can swim without heating, saving electricity. The tank with shower water is located in the sun and heats up naturally, and in cool weather the electric water heating is turned on. A summer house building is installed in an open area so that the sun's rays can directly heat the water for swimming. The equipment must provide for the availability of electricity, thanks to which the water will be heated to the desired temperature by the heating element.

A tank of a darker color is better suited to ensure heating of water in sunny summers. There are two types of tanks - plastic and metal. In terms of reliable temperature retention and stronger heating, an iron tank is preferable. Metal, in addition to being hotter, also retains heat longer, unlike plastic. Plastic has its advantages: a tank made of this material is lighter and puts less strain on the base of the cabin.

The main elements of an outdoor shower for a heated cottage:

Foundation or foundation;
Drain and scavenge;
Shower cabin, including a frame, a water tank with an electric heater, a shower head with a ball valve, a tray, and casing.

Manufacturers rating

Having studied the posts and reviews on specialized forums, it is easy to make a rating of the most popular brands, without trying to determine which ones are better and which are worse.

One of the first places in popularity is occupied by boilers from Slovenian Gorenje. They consume little energy, are strong and durable, heat water quickly and are easy to use.
In second place were ARISTON products that are simple and safe to use, recognized by experts as one of the most reliable. Their design and rich functionality are also noted.
The Bulgarian company ELDOM, which produces inexpensive but very high-quality heaters for the USA and the Middle East, unexpectedly took third place.
Fourth place was taken by the German DRAZICE, which produces options with large tanks (from 90 l). The parts of these storage water heaters have reliable protection against corrosion due to the use of magnetic anodizing technologies.
Another German company, RODA, took 5th place in this small rating due to the high level of product quality.

Of course, this rating of storage water heaters is only evidence of the particular popularity of these brands among domestic users. And it does not at all indicate which company is best to purchase a storage water heater from. And also, it is not at all evidence of the low quality of products from manufacturers not included in the rating.

Heated shower for a summer cottage: step-by-step instructions

Let's look at the step-by-step stages of installing an outdoor shower for a heated cottage:

First you need to decide on the size of the cabin and how much water is needed for washing in the tank. Most often, a height of just over 2 meters is convenient. The volume of water ranges from 60 to 250 liters.
Choose a place on your summer cottage that would meet the following tips:

The site should not be in a draft or wind to avoid colds for the person washing;
Convenient drainage into the country sewer system;

A drain for the tank should be equipped. Source sdelalsam.su

The sunniest and hottest area in the country for heating water in the tank.
Next, the site is prepared and drainage is done. Experts advise making the volume of the drainage pit 2.5 times larger than that of a water tank. As a simple option, you can simply lay an inclined pipe from the cabin. A septic tank and drainage are installed next to the drain.
Installation of the pallet in a small dug recess, previously covered with roofing felt and covered with crushed stone on top.

Next, the frame is placed, it is fixed firmly, since the tank with water and the heater will rest on it. Shower trim is added; it is better to choose the one most suitable for the exterior of the suburban area or house. It can be polycarbonate, wood and others.
A heated tank is placed on the supporting structure, which is sometimes used as an ordinary barrel above the cabin.

Structural projects

It’s not difficult to build a heated outdoor shower; the most important thing is to first think through its layout and draw up a competent project. Thanks to drawings and diagrams, it will be possible to quickly calculate material consumption and the volume of construction work. It is worth noting that to install such a structure it is not necessary to use the most expensive materials; you can get by with a practical and affordable finish. To design a large summer shower, you will need a poured foundation, and simple buildings, as a rule, are installed on piles.

An important point when choosing a design project is the material from which the installation will be made. Recently, many dacha owners have chosen brick structures. They fit perfectly into the design of the site, but their construction is expensive. You can also install a wooden shower with a changing room and heating.

Heated garden shower designs made of polycarbonate are also extremely popular. The finishing material is characterized by light weight and strength, is resistant to external factors and is easy to install. To build such a structure with your own hands, prepare drawings of the cabin and locker room. Typically the height of the booth is from 2 to 2.5 m, and its width should not be less than 1 m

It is also important to indicate the depth of the shower stall in the project; for comfortable bathing its indicators are 1.2 m

In addition, the sketches indicate the material of the frame cladding, which can be made from profiles, metal pipes, or wooden beams. The project also needs to show the arrangement of the upper part of the building; it is usually covered with flooring and a flat tank is placed. A barrel can also be used as a container for water. The installation of electrical wiring and drainage system should be specified in the diagrams. As for the locker room, its dimensions are selected individually.

Heating schemes

During the construction of a country shower, you need to decide on a water heating system. To comfortably refresh yourself on hot days after working in the country, the water must be warm, otherwise you may catch a cold. Today, there are several types of installation of structures, each of which has a specific heating scheme.

Portable shower. It is a simple version of the structure in which water is poured into a special bag equipped with a watering can. The bag is hung on a rack and filled with preheated water. You can also place the container and wait until its contents warm up on their own in the sun. The main advantage of such a system is its efficiency, it does not require additional equipment, the water is heated without the cost of electricity, but the volume of the bag, which is 20 liters, will not allow the whole family to take a full bath.

In addition, it is necessary to purchase a high-quality boiler from well-established manufacturers that meets all standards and safety regulations. Additionally, in the summer shower you will need to finish the walls, ceiling and flooring with thermal insulation and asbestos. This will protect the structure from possible fire. If the titanium is planned to be placed externally, then you should also worry about enclosing its space, especially in areas where children can play.

And when exiting the shower, a canopy protects you from the scorching sun or, on the contrary, from rain and wind. More expensive models of country showers with heated water have all these pleasant advantages.

A booth made of natural wood will look very beautiful, and it’s also practical. Natural color will fit perfectly into the design of a summer cottage.

The price of a wooden shower with a changing room and a canopy in Moscow: from 28,000 to 68,000 rubles.

The most expensive option is wooden showersSource board.com.ua

The cost of installing a garden shower cabin in Moscow on average starts from 7,500 rubles and then depends on the complexity of the work and the characteristics of the land plot.
