QUOTE(zheilwane @ Jun 30 2011, 01:00 PM) Installing a master pump like grundfos would b a better solution. However, if ur house is old and the pipes connection is not strong, you might have some place leaking after installing the pump. Do the pump have a regulator to adjust the desire water pressure? |

QUOTE(GibsonBFG @ Jun 30 2011, 01:54 PM) hmm.. now lagi confused... whether to go wit water pump or water heater wit pump.. any actual owner or user with experince... apprecaite more feedback... think wil geteither unit this wkend... I m using water heater with pump for over 10yrs. And currently is a 2nd water heater with pump. More silent n compact. It did improve the pressure but not the type like big shower high pressure. Water heater with pump will cost you less than rm500. While separate will cost rm500 for the pump and rm300 for the heater. Not yet include the installation. Another cheaper way is modify the piping to branch out the main pipe direct to your bathroom pipe. Bypass the water tank. Than just use back your old water heater.

If you supply is good, then will be less noisier It just a 10min bath. And new type is more silent and compact.This post has been edited by ozak: Jun 30 2011, 02:46 PM |

QUOTE(kornflake @ Nov 4 2011, 02:20 PM) if i were to use a water pump, would my electricity usage increase for my standard water heater because i will have to increase the temperature to the highest to make the water hot due to the pressure of the water is high? pls explain coz quite blur on this. You need to increase the heat if your water flow/pressure increase. The water cannot get enough hot when it flow fast from point a to point b inside the heating elementcurrently my house with no pump n the water heater temp is onli half way so consumption is based on this but pressure not so canggih Of course your bill will increase too. |

QUOTE(AdrianSiang @ Nov 4 2011, 03:31 PM) if install a water pump + using instant water heater w/o pump will the water get enough hot? Depend on your instant heater wattage. Normally 3.2kw is enough hot. |
