QUOTE(Eng_Tat @ Nov 20 2011, 08:48 PM) the wiring is inside the pvc case. i guess >30min of continuous usage. i am using silent pump version, not so noisy and the pressure is better then euro uno. wow, means the exposed PVC after 30 mins of usage, u touch on it you can feel it is warm?

If you set max temperature, his high current it sure generate some heat. If is just warm and with good quality cable you don't have to worry much. If lousy quality cable, longer you use it will turn brittle and copper will oxidized.
Don't use 100%, 80% of setting, and reduce pump speed.

Yeah its just warm. the setting of pump is full speed and heat is around 70%-80%. I am also using wire approved by sirim. Any way shud have gone with 4mm wires next time.

Any experience in Electrolux water heaters? I can't quite remember the model name but it's the slim type.
Do share if any of you have the experience of using it. Thank you.

It all depend of the water temperature and flow. 99& of the market instant water heater use heating element which is very reliable. If water flow too fast you won't get hot water. If water too cold you don't too. Got to play around with water pressure.

Some maker claim like have temperature control or electronic temperature sensor that can adjust the temperature regardless pressure fluctuates.
Does this work?
