Panasonic is for sure the best quality but the design is not favoured by the users because not trendy enough.

However, Japanese company rather prefers number 1 in safety feature than design feature.

Sooner or later, panasonic will come out a lot of water heater media ads to expose in the market.

To note that, panasonic never made AC pump heater from the moment they started in producing the instant water heater 20 more years ago. Japanese know the consequences of the AC pump heater. So, they say no to problem and complaint.

Huh?

Panasonic DC pump heater is not new in the market...Sudah lama dah Ada Liao leh..

Yes, last time they named National and now they convert it to Panasonic.

U have got the point.

I feel like getting conned. My unit came with an unknown “Meru” storage water heater. I got it fixed in July by its distributor (I think) for RM400. Shortly after that it started to leak and my tenant only informed me in August. So the company sent technicians over twice. First time they said the valve wasn’t tightened or something. FOC and I tipped them. It still leaked. Today another team of technicians came and said the tank is spoilt and has to be replaced. I have to fork out RM120 as checking fees since it’s not due to changing the heating element back in July. The tank has to be replaced. I’ve paid RM520 so far and I’ll still need to replace the tank and redo the plaster.

Good news! The water heater exploded last night.

Is this a problem with the water heater itself or a repair job badly done by the technician? Where can I file a complaint if I want to?

Fortunately nope.

Moral of the story - if your storage water heater is suspected of leaking, turn off the valve and get it checked ASAP.

Heating element was replaced in July. Technician denied the leak was at the heating element.

A brand that doesn’t exist anymore probably - Meru.

Preferred instant one which is installed on the wall but contractor said I must use back the storage type. I don't know why.

He said there's an instant tankless type which is installed in the ceiling. Has anyone come across this type?

Plumber told me there's a tankless instant type that's installed in the ceiling. I'm looking for it.

Nope. Gonna get the storage type in the end.

Tomorrow

Nice but a tad too late. I've already ordered a Joven 35L.
