One may not shower on [[Yom Tov]] with water heated on [[Yom Tov]], however, one may shower with water heated before [[Yom Tov]] as long as it is not in a bathhouse. One may shower on [[Yom Tov]] Sheni with water heated by an electric heater on [[Yom Tov]] Rishon, provided there is no incoming cold water that will be heated as it enters the tank. Water that was heated in a solar boiler (common in Israel) is considered like water that was heated before [[Yom Tov]] and one could shower one’s whole body in them on [[Yom Tov]]. <ref>Rav Ovadyah Yosef (Chazon Ovadya [[Yom Tov]] p. 41 and p. 157), Yalkut Yosef [[Shabbat]] Volume 4 Siman 326 page 58.

According to a ruling of Rav Yitzchak Yosef Shlita, in the Diaspora, when [[Yom Tov]] falls out on Thursday and Friday and leads into [[Shabbat]], colloquially known as a Three Day [[Yom Tov]], it is permissible to take a shower on [[Yom Tov]] as long as the water in the boiler was boiling before [[Yom Tov]] even if there is incoming water that will be heated as it enters the boiler. <ref>Rabbi Gavriel Elbaz (author of the English HalachaYomit.co.il site) as well as a few other Rabbis sent a question to Rav Yitzchak Yosef Shlita as to whether the lenient position Rav Ovadia Yosef took regarding a solar boiler could be applied to an electric boiler. The final ruling of Rav Yitzchak Yosef can be found on [http://halachayomit.co.il/Default.asp?HalachaID=1573 HalachaYomit.co.il in Hebrew] as well as [http://www.halachayomit.co.il/EnglishDisplayRead.asp?readID=1997 HalachaYomit.co.il in English]. See, however, another [http://www.halachayomit.co.il/displayRead.asp?ReadID=1996 article on HalachaYomit.co.il]. The Teshuvah was later printed in Shu"t HaRishon LeTzion vol. 2 Orach Chaim Siman 74. | According to a ruling of Rav Yitzchak Yosef Shlita, in the Diaspora, when [[Yom Tov]] falls out on Thursday and Friday and leads into [[Shabbat]], colloquially known as a Three Day [[Yom Tov]], it is permissible to take a shower on [[Yom Tov]] as long as the water in the boiler was boiling before [[Yom Tov]] even if there is incoming water that will be heated as it enters the boiler. <ref>Rabbi Gavriel Elbaz (author of the English HalachaYomit.co.il site) as well as a few other Rabbis sent a question to Rav Yitzchak Yosef Shlita as to whether the lenient position Rav Ovadia Yosef took regarding a solar boiler could be applied to an electric boiler.
