Abstract

A water heater has an electrically operated valve 14 for controlling water flow through the heater; a heating chamber 16 with an electrical heating element; a user operable switch (20, fig 1) for turning the heater on/off; and a controller 23,24 controlling electrical power to the element, with means (e.g. a voltmeter or ammeter) for measuring or determining whether power is being supplied to the heating element. If a power relay becomes stuck in the on condition when the user initiates shutdown, the controller can prevent the valve from closing or repeatedly reopen the valve. A visual or audible warning can be given of the fault. The heater may supply a showerhead.
