Electrical Water Heater installation in hairdressers

[alexterry]

Was wondering if anybody could offer any advice; got a job coming up in an old building which is being converted into a hair salon. No gas supply so everything is elecrtic. The client wants the hot water feed from electric water heater to go to a hair basin mixer as normal... there's no issues with this is there, or anything I should be aware of?

Just as long as the electrics are up to scratch and you've sized it correctly then you're fine.

Like Howsie says, size does count. Make sure the heater will supply enough to the back rinses otherwise a customer could get a cold shock. In the past I have fitted independant electric showers for each backwash in a hairdressers. This gives the added advantage that they can still use them if the main water heater fails.

TMV3 or other anti-scalding protection? I know some electric showers / instantaneous heaters have a habit of sending through a plug of very hot water after an off-on cycle.

I have no experience in this field so please don't take this as advice - just raising a question.
