QUOTE(hontoni1983 @ Sep 9 2013, 05:51 PM) Purchased Alpha Smart 18i from Perfect Lifestyle fair a week ago, and they have came for installation yesterday,this is the first time in my life that i am installing water heater (all the while,my parents refuse to install heater because worry of electricity leakage),and holy shit,they use a PVC pipe to connect the output of my original rain water shower output to the heater input, and now, I can see the whole PVC pipe naked on the tiles which is about 2 meter long..... is your bathroom equipped for storage water heater? Oh my god,i really can't accept that after spent so much of money to renovate the house,and the ugly part appear in the toilet!!! Really learnt my lesson, anybody here got idea how to overcome this?? except drill hole and put the pipe inside, and redo the tiles?? This post has been edited by idoblu: Sep 9 2013, 09:14 PM |

QUOTE(sovietmah @ Sep 4 2013, 02:55 PM) Why exactly same issue like mine. thanks for sharing this info.Initially i plan to use Joven or another brand as i heard they got support. But after heard your story and bad support, sorry,make out my mind to drop Joven as part of my list.I bought 2 x joven i70P. one working OK, one no water come out (sometimes a little bit but the pump not really working). Regret, regret... |

Storage heaters and mini heat pump the safest.
Gas can leak, cause fire and explosion This post has been edited by idoblu: Sep 10 2013, 07:48 AM |

QUOTE(idoblu @ Sep 10 2013, 07:47 AM) During gas heater era, not much news I heard about gas explosion. Normally the leaking is very small. Rather a fire than explosion. Gas heater have a safety valve. Which will shutdown when high pressure release. Even if a gas hose broken, the most is fire shut out. Because the gas valve limit the pressure. I saw this kind of situation before during makan steambot. Scary. The most famous news using gas heater is suicide. Specially in HK. Even HK actress use gas heater for suicide. |

Even HK actress use gas heater for suicide. just like electric heaters, there is suppose to have a level of safety thru the ELCB....but as you can see, anything can happen those gas water heaters with the big tank.....I dont think its available here any more. Only those small ones like what Rinnai is selling those with the big tank has a pilot light continuously burning just like stove and oven from yester-years |

I am using water heater brand is Eaga.
Seems like china brand? and very hot the water even under the condo's water tank pressure, no local product can compete so far from my experience. I might be the next one to die u see.. This post has been edited by sovietmah: Sep 10 2013, 09:40 AM |

I have experienced with 2 water heaters, here are my point of views.
Pensonic - Kinda ok, the trip function seems to work well. Reset and it's fine to go again. Euro Uno - Cheap in price, good in reliability. No problems so far, been using it for about 7 years now & tripped only once due to power shortage as my wife turned on the vacuum while I was showering. |
