Relearning how to bathe in cold water the old way

This Japanese-made "National" hand shower unit installed in the bathroom is leaking. Water is dripping from the base of the appliance when the electrical power is turned on. The ELCB indicator light is also flashing continuously.

This hand shower is so old that even the white colour of the casing has been oxidised to a yellowish tone. After all it has been in faithful service for the past 20 years. I doubt if modern electrical appliances can last that long and whether there is any replacement part still available for this particular model. This model is so dated that even its manufacturer has transformed the brand name from "National" to "Panasonic".

Before anyone gets electrocuted while taking a shower I better start shopping around for a new replacement unit. In the meantime it's a good opportunity for family members to relearn how our ancestors bathe the old way, by splashing cold water with hand-ladles.
