It need the following power

Power Rating : 4.5, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0Kw

You know how many Amps for 4.5KWA? That is putting normal socket wire to threshold.

In Singapore, i see some HDB owner install copper pipe without conceal, could be by law (not sure), but if the workmanship is good, it don't look too bad lah.

R U refering the cold & hot mixer to shower with two outlet of hot water and cold water? Those typically seen in hotels.

I'll be using only individual instant hot shower system for each of my bathroom, as said it will be joint between the outlet of the stop cock and the inlet of the shower head scured to the concrete wall. Water temperature will be controlled by the thermostat of the water heater.

But how can I find out how is the orientation/layout of those concealed pipings since they cannot bee seen externally? What tools do I need if I choose to DIY?

Grinder + diamond cutter blade, + rotary hammer. If you want to do it fast. And some cement skill, maybe tiling skill if you want to try.

If you don't have the tool, a metal chisel and mid size hammer with lots of patient. I did that to hide my current room a/c wires.

Wou, seems like many DIY gurus here.

U bought those tools only for this job? I feel like DIY too, but lack of power tools. I only have a electric powered drill.

Just brought the rotary hammer, got a china grinder. Going to buy a variable speed grinder to polish my concrete top.

So, if I already have a storage heater with concealed piping and mixer, can I replace it with this unit? My electricity bill is rather high and I have been looking at ways to reduce the bill from heating elements.

p/s : Why is everybody spelling this wrong? It is STOP CORK not STOP COCK  blush.gif

Off it when you not using, should be ok. On it few mins before take bath.

Rain shower Head specs??

If I will to buy a square 10" rain shower, I need to ask the seller whether its compatible with instant heater or how shud I check?

Quite confuse in this

10", i don't think the instant water heater pump can give good water pressure, unless the incoming pressure is already good. Than again, if it flow too fast the water may not be warm enough.
