With wires? And some pretty shitty splices as well.

Looks like a shower head with heating elements built in

Otherwise it wouldn't make any fucking sense considering shower heads are literally a dollar each

Is this bait? It has to be bait. Its a water heater at the end of the pipe. Also galvanized pipe for DW. Where could this be? Some slav country worse than Russia I think.

That picture has been around long before the Olympic village.

Also once you have good ground contacts you are safe. The risk is the same as using a water tank with an element in.

Except that the water tank heaters are inside grounded metal tubes and insulated from them, while these shower heads seem to prefer using bare resistance wire in direct contact with water. Safety is "guaranteed" by a grounded ring near the business end so that it sucks away the unavoidable leakage current.

This is a common shower head in Brazil.

It's not the heater/shower head that looks bad. It's the workmanship of that wiring that scares me.
