Tell you what, the whole house are using low quality wire by default. That's why I'll lay new wire for high power consumers as far as possible. Using it for short period of time(as said, water heater won't take much power if the thermostat not set to max heat), so in some sense need to compromise a bit on this.
For safety sake, yes you are right.

bought rinnai water heaters during the fair... anyone used them before?

From where?
And after sales service support good or not

aiyo, the homedec lor, pricing so attractive make me wanna buy nia

around 500+ (lower 500s) for each without the rainshower thing since i bought hansgrohe shower hand thing

dunno about anything else because never bought their things before

Sorry, my bad.
I mean is made from where
When buying electric appliances, after sales service support are very important.
That's why I never buy any item in Homdec.

japan lor. rinnai all their things they told me from jipon

Looks like is from Japan, but made in where are a question mark
Service centers also not much, so

less service centers mean = awesome product no need service (i hope)

Update:

When the sellers stressing that it is from Japan, then I on the spot walked out(they are cheating)

rinnai not japan? i always thought that it was...

A Japan company does not means everything will be made in Japan
Usually they will build the manufacturing plant in third world countries to reduce cost.

but but but

the wiki entry mentioned that they have 6 domestic plants...

I can have 20 domestic plants but I won't tell you where are them located

well...

i agree

but they do have a shanghai plant to cater to chinese market....

so possible.

will snap pix when i get it so i can confirm

anyone using panasonic water heater with the e-cycle thing? good?

How about the water heater seers...how much for 200L.

Joven vs Alpha, which one is more suited for rented units?

I don't think it will make any difference. But most importantly is the booster pump of ur rented unit whether it's strong enough.

You may first decide whether to use dc pump or ac pump. Dc pump cost more but it gives 5years warranty, and selling point is that the sound won't be as loud as ac pump, and it saves more electricity. Whereas ac pump only give 1year warranty, and cheaper compared to dc pump.

Thanks PSM, mind to tell how can I check where is the booster pump and how to determine whether it's strong or not?
