Better don't cut the wires yo. You'll most likely burn the warranty

my panasonic with noisy pump, the one with cartoon drawing of elephants
one day is just stopped working, elcb no light, its as if the switch is no more. last me a good deal of 5~7 years already of which i cannot remember.

should i repair or should i just buy a new one with rain shower pulak?

I really can't understand why people are still using instant water heaters
Safety aside, don't you guys want a nice strong shower?
These instant heaters are like getting pissed on by a toddler. No I take that back. Even a toddlers piss is stronger.

It can't be the cost cause the ones with pump cost as much as a storage heaters

The ones with so-called rain shower is a joke. As for those with buildin pump, the pressure is better but the flow rate is still too low for a nice shower experience .

Guys need some recommendation, planning to install a storage heater.which brands are better ones? How big is needes to supply 3bathrooms? ? Thanks

There you are, you already have some answers by yourself. To say you don't understand why people still using instant water heater instead of what you are using is because you think others not as smart as you. Well, it's all about choices, both options have pro and cons. Majority of Malaysian households choose instant water heater is because it is fast and easy to instal, cheaper start up, instant hot water, latest safety features, less electricity consumption, space limitation, don't want hacking...etc etc.

It's similar to that of top loading vs front loading argument in washing machine and Android vs iOS argument in smartphone. There will be no ending.
So one pays one's money and one takes one's choice! Can understand now ?

Btw, why storage water heater can be 110% safe ? Can you substantiate it ?

The Segamat case as evident from the picture, it was caused by an old instant water heater. As for Mont kiara case, I was told by people within the industry (dealer) that the mont kiara case was a storage heater. It's just hearsay, please take it with a pinch of salt. No confirmed report says it was storage heater or instant heater.

You can't compare water heater with kettle because there is a big discrepancy between the two that you are not in direct contact with water in kettle.
As for storage tank heater, if the heating is switched on and you are using the shower via mixer, what makes it different from instant water heater ?
Yes, I agree that by switching off the heater before bath will provide 110% safety, it goes without saying. But this safety regime  must be manually carry out everyday by a very discipline single user in order to achieve full proof safety. If you factor in human error of the 1st user, human mistake of the second user, the third user and so on, we definitely can't claim storage tank heater is 110% safe.

Thanks for the input, actually one bathroom is ground floor the other 2 upstairs, so how many litres will be sufficient for 2 small ones? Which brand again?

Scary. 

Just to share this interesting story.
My relative has a stainless steel water tank (as seen on picture attached) installed at the roof deck. They hardly need to use the electric water heater because water from the roof deck tank is warm enough for shower even in the morning. This one definitely save energy and won't get electrocuted. 

What do you mean ?? 

How did people actually still get electrocuted by instant water heater?

I  thought all the components like the outflow pipe, shower head are now not made of metal?

Somehow there is a loophole on this water heater. Probably manufacturing keep it secret from public.

Any comments for used joven centre system?

Is the price list for "used" or new? If new that not that expensive.

I just bought an Alpha Smart i18 instant heater. Cost alone oledi 600+

But I supposed for storage heater, you have to factor in the copper piping, that will really jack up the final cost.

Hopefully by next year can save enough budget......

How long hv you been using the Joven, ever changed the heating element?

My new house has a heater point on the concrete roof slab, right next to the water tank.
(Don't know what developer was thinking)

Can this type of storage heater be mounted on top? In open air.

Wonder whats wrong with mine, was working fine until last year, changed the element 3 times so far, the repair guy told me to try Elton

Rinnai gas?

Malaysia got supply centre gas? Not the cylinder gas only right.

There are many water heater model in Joven website.
Any recommendation on the good and reliable 1?
Not prefer with rain shower
