If the pressure is good enough, you don't need pump.

If you using for rain shower head, the water temperature will be lower compare hand shower head. Cause of the water droplet cool down effect and the volume flow.

if the power plug for the heater is preinstalled inside the shower room slightly above where the heater should be located, is it safe? since steam travel upwards. usually the plug/switch is located outside. in this case the plug is inside the showerroom do we need special installation or seal to prevent water mist going in?

also for such installation any reliable brand? just need safe & reliable. if got build in pump is good to have but normally i don't think will use it, but sometimes water pressure maybe low.

hows those standard models sold in shops like Panasonic?

water pressure is higher when the elevation is lower.

unless you mean moving from upper floor down to 1st floor.

Bought one during fair, used for about a month, so far so good, satisfied.

1) With temperature set to a fix value, the power applied to the water heater depends on the incoming water flow rate, example, if water flow rate suddenly lowered, the power applied to the water heater will be lower also, hence reduce power consumption, and vice versa.

2) Water pump is always turned on whenever the unit is turned on via the push On-Off button, no way to turn off the pump manually. The pump noise level is acceptable for me, not too loud.

3) Water temperature settings retains as long as you don't turn off the main power supply to the unit. The clock settings will always get retained, regardless of the main supply, because there is a coin battery inside the unit.

can you give an idea how much % boost the pump gives? i'm not fancy the pump is always on. are there other Panasonic models that can manually turn off the pump?

also the non-jet pump version of your model, is exactly built the same minus the pump?

how much amp does heater normally use (with pump) can normal switch & cable support?

I've had the socket in bathroom for more than 10 years and never has any problem with it. This socket is not meant to be switch on and off but I had a switch outside the bathroom. For the socket, I placed it high above the water heater.

It is not like you will have your bathroom like sauna. My bathroom is passively ventilated.

the switch outside did you add or original came with?

if i add this will it help? btw most plugs have same dimension right?

sauna no, but mirrors do get fogged up with the heater on.

I bought the same Panasonic water heater for my parent house.
My parent house is landed house, where upper stair water pressure is very low. Whenever someone use water downstair, there will be almost no water coming out from the previous water heater shower head.

Since changed to this Panasonic water heater with pump, no more this problem, I can't give you a percentage boost from the pump, but it does solve low water pressure problem.

I do not own the non-jet pump version of the water heater so I have no idea, but from the spec, it looks like the non-jet pump version just lack of the pump only, if compare to the jet pump version.

I do not actually know how many amp use, but from the spec, the rated power is around 3.6kW, so around 15 Amp. My condo existing wiring no problem with this water heater. Switch better use double pole switch.

hi, anyone using DH-3NDP1MS or similar water heater?

want to ask regarding the ELCB Test Button, when you press the button, do you feel a click on the button?

i haven't install the heater yet but when i push the ELCB button at bottom up, i press the ELB Test button, i don't feel anything, not even a click like button should, is something wrong?

hi there, i just got my Panasonic Water Heater (similar to yours but without the pump & digital LCD (just turn knob).

can you do me a favor, can you test the water heater button with the power source (switch) turned off, when you push the ELCB "Reset" button at the bottom up, when you push the ELB "Test" button, does anything happen? will the Test button stay jammed like you can't press the 2nd time like it stays flat? or you can keep pressing the Test button like you can feel it's not stuck?

coz i haven't connected the heater yet but my test button seems to have "jammed". i'm not sure if it's designed to this way until power is connected, or the button is faulty.

will be a life saver thanks.

I just tried, the ELCB button works only whenever the unit has power supply to it.
Pressing that button without power supply won't produce the "click" feeling and sound.
*
ok thanks alot, just to confirm it's the square button on the face of the heater, not the reset button at the bottom.

i always though buttons are buttons only difference is whether it works or not when you press. 1st time i see button stuck when no power connected.

Yes, the button on the face of the water heater, not the button ELCB reset button.

I think you had use older Panasonic or National water heater before, where the ELCB button can be press even without power supply to the water heater.
*
haha this is 1st time buy panasonic, old heaters you can press the buttons will feel pressed and tick tick sound.

coz the button felt like it was stuck/broken, so i was worried. coz the feel is exactly just like a broken button (on other electronics like when you press too hard & broke it).

It is just a net filter. Filter the big debric.

Can takeout and wash anytime.

I probably takeout wash only once so far.

just asking, for instant water heater like Panasonic, just plug & play right (water inlet & power source), do we need to open up the casing to connect wires for the ELCB function? coz i read the manuals they drew up the internal wirings for the ELCB.

also if the original bathroom already have the shower head (like the one in hotel water drops down from above head), how do we install the water inlet for the instant water heater? must remove the existing shower head and run a water pipe to the water heater?

for the water pipe, must be those normal PVC water pipe? or can we use those flexible water hose instead? as PVC pipe need to cut & connect bends and need to use pipe clip & screws onto the wall and at the water heater end still need an adapter.

btw the model is Panasonic DH-3NS2MS (Non Jet Pump), when i see your post about opening up the casing i don't think i can handle it. turning on the water just to test for leaks with the casing removed is very brave even with power off. if got leak outside splash to the boards how?
