QUOTE(bengang13 @ Sep 21 2014, 06:01 PM) yeah...but i just have the habit of not changing things...of coz this has something to do with safety hence wondering if there are any other ways... i have a pana heater send back for them to check cause i thought rosak(but actually the problem lies with the switch) end up paying RM70 just to check and tell me nothing wrong... I also the same, won't simply change things. But now this perception changes as when my 1st water heater fails, the pump "exploded" with all the carbon. What if it leaks before fails? I won't be here anymore

You can enjoy hot from any mixer tap at your home for shower, wash basin, bath tub, Jacuzzi, kitchen sink and washing machine." fuyoh i really wonder how this little thing can fill a bath tub or jacuzzi with hot water or can supply to multi point as they claimed.

The plumbing charges is so expensive  Ask installer from the shop you bought the unit. They may have plumber to introduce. My storage piping also around 1.5k just the two bathroom on first floor.

The plumbing charges is so expensive  definitely not worth it. dont forget you need to hack your bathroom and redo all the tiles as well. in the end you spend 10k just for all these.

The plumbing charges is so expensive  If you add in the material with the hacking and plumbing, don't see it expensive. Your water pump already cost RM1k+.

Dear All, I am looking for a good water heater, and energy saving. I am looking into Seers due to a few shops strongly recommended Seers DC heater. It was impressed that it can save 60% energy. I have read thru Seers forum and brochure, But with my electrical background, energy can not created nor destroyed. Hence, I have a doubt that the energy can be save until this extend. And I ask my Singapore friend in this field and he don't believe. And I feel weird that the salesman and brochure mentioned that all the model can save 60% energy, but from the Seers forum I think only their Hybrid range can save this much, and I also don't believe the single tank, double tank, all can save that much due to the principle is better insulation. Can some one help on this?

Then how can they misleading users in such a marketing way?? Even they have a Return of investment chart!! I thought all of it models can save energy in such, if not perhaps 30%!! And I think energy saving is only the hybrid systems not even the double tank one. If this is the fact, we must spread out this news to avoid them to mislead other people!!! Pls correct me if I am wrong.
