It's only 3 litres.. a 5 litre one is not much more expensive, and more economical to use smile.gif

Uhm, currently I'm using an electric boiler to boil water. My housemate says that it is more economical to boil it using gas. I doubt so because it won't make much difference.

So.. anybody here can enlighten me?

additional info: the boiler uses about 2000W and 1 gas tank costs about rm21.

Gas cheaper. TBN use gas/water to generate electricity. and household gas got government subsidy. biggrin.gif

I've done the calculations.

My water boiler consumes 2000W and can get the job done in 10 minutes, therefore 2000W x (10/60)/1000=0.333kWh

it will be 0.333kWh x 0.218 = RM 0.0726

I use it 3 times per day throughout a month.

That means it is 0.0726 x 3 x 30=rm6.50

I have 5 person staying in this house. Therefore, I don't think it is wise to save on this considering safety issues.

How many liters of water are you talking about?

Vast majority of water filter do not kill virus and bacteria. Boiling does. Big difference.

electric want is the fastest..
less than 6-7 min only..
and should cost cheaper..

emm.. how calculate ..
2000*/100 *7/60 *0.218

araound RM 0.05086 only per 1.3litre

Funny you should come up with that figure. I have just calculated the cost of Amway UV light used to kill viruses and bacteria and it comes to 5 sen per liter as well, making those UV light thing very cost competitive indeed minus the hassle of boiling. That is excluding the filtration which will add another 5 sen. Making about 10 sen per liter.

1000 yrs ago, there were no pesticide and so many carcinogenic things in water. So best use solid charcoal filter.

I boil water with gas and electric. Yes electric is slightly faster but i do not know of the cost of neither. Most homes have these electric water boiler with keep hot function. Those suck electric like mad as u use it 24 hours a day. I boil with electric water pot and then transfer the water to a thermos. The water boiled by gas is cooled for regular consumption. I use my handphone alarm function to keep track when the water boils. It averages 23 minutes depending on weather.
