Actually another thing which I have seen quite often is the valves on the cheap ones similar to the first picture are installed on the wrong side of the shower unit, these shower units work on pressure, ie when there is water pressure it flips a pressure switch to turn on the heating element, there should only be pressure when the valve is turned on, so this needs to be on the feed side of the shower, not the outlet side, normally if it is on the outlet side the heating element stays on and eventually the whole unit becomes a molten mass of burnt plastic.
