guy, how do you conceal the water heater wiring when developer already tiled fully the whole bath room?

sorry if this is a noob question, tq in advance
*
Ask the developer for the tile code and try your luck buying those from the shops. It normally affect only few few pieces. The colour matching is about 99% due to different production date

I got mine foc from those leftover by the developer/contractor as they have spares for warranty claim rectification.

Sorry newbie here. What is the difference between the jet pump and non jet pump version? I am getting instant heaters for my new condo but not sure which one to go for between these two models.

Panasonic DH-3MS1
Panasonic DH-3MP1 (with jet pump)
Centon EcoSerene Series (with DC Silent Pump)
Centon Serene Series (with optional pump and rain shower)

Is one with and the other without a pump.

Depending in your inlet piping connection ... direct from main, not necessary as the pressure is strong unless other household are using the same time like the kitchen tap, then the pressure will drop.

Thanks in that case I think I will be getting the one with DC pump. Which will you recommend between these 3 brands? I know most will go with Panasonic but what about the other 2?

Toshiba DSK38ES3MB-RS
Panasonic DH-3MP1 (with jet pump) - What is the difference between this and DH-3RP1MK though?
Centon Serene Series (with optional pump and rain shower)

I have only exp with ...

1. Pana ... 2 units with pump at 1st floor bathroom and 1 with no pump at ground floor. 11 years.

2. Electrolux ... 2 units with pump at 1st floor bathroom at my homestay unit. 3 years.

Both brands have no issue todate.

The rest, wait for others to comment.

Any recommended Gas water heater for landed house? So far only can find this Rinnai model and its RM3k+  shakehead.gif

I remembered a trip to my friend's place in Cameron where the family uses a gas water heater. One of them in the group was showering and it ran out of gas ....lol

It was a design where one can see the flame heating the pipe when showering.

I am not sure of the features now whether it has an indicator.

My condo is designed to use storage water heater, so hot water piping is prepared above the plaster ceiling and mixer tap embedded behind the shower wall.

Now let's say if I wish to use instant heater instead, can I connect my water inlet to the hot water piping? Does it affect the pressure?

The reason I'm thinking of this is that if I didn't use the hot water piping, I have to turn the mixer tap to the most right (to maximise water inlet). If I turn to middle or left, then pressure drops since there is no hot water coming in.
*
The water pressure for both are controlled by the mixer. Since the hot piping is not connected to the mixer, there wont be any water flowing when the mixer is turn to left.

You can diy a temp 'hot piping' connection to the mixer without going through any heater and check the pressure for both.

Thanks! Your meaning of DIY a temp "hot piping" connection is to connect the water inlet to the piping above the plaster ceiling like I mentioned earlier in the post, correct me if I misunderstood.
user posted image

If correct, what material of hose/pipe connection to connect them for long term usage? Those flexible hose (type that we use under kitchen sink/basin suitable? Cold water is HDPE and hot water is PPR
*
Yes, you can try using the gas hose or PPR and clip. I think it should fit.

Thanks bro. I can see you good in water heater  brows.gif . By the way, i bought this model instead (Jet Pump) DH-3NP2MS without digital as i reconsider the typical usage
where the knob is easier to use vs digital is a bit troublesome.

This model is okay right? I choose this mainly because is goldish brown color as the showerhead is bigger and don't turn yellow  smile.gif

Hi all, would just like to check if anyone have encountered this issue before. I have Panasonic DH-3NP2MS water heater installed in my new home. Yesterday when I troed to use the water heater, the water came out intermittently and gradually decreases until there is no water, and the pump sounds extremely noisy.

I have checked for leaks in my piping, but couldnt find any. Appreciate if anyone can assist in troubleshooting the issue.

Clean the filter knob.

Hi, I just bought the Panasonic 3MP1 and would like to understand more on the pump operation. When I turn on the switch, but my water is not running, will the pump still be running?

My incoming pressure is actually very strong, so will this damage my inlet pipe due to build up pressure when I turn on the switch but not using the water?
*
1. Yes ....the loud noise from the pump will alert you to turn off the switch immediately.

2. Turning on the the switch does not affect the heater. Is it only ready to supply current to the pump when the water supply is turn on.

When incoming water pressure is strong, it is not necessary to install a pump heater, unless the original inlet is from the reserve tank and a 'temp' direct bypass is done.

not yet sis, will try that or teflon tape first.
1. So does the loud noise for prolonged period cause any damage if i forgot to turn it off?
Probably because my condo is new hence no residents moved in yet that caused the high pressure. I also wanted the rain shower effect hence I purchased the pump version.
*
I dont think you will forget if you hear the noise. You can try now to turn off the water supply and on the heater.

In my opinion, normal buit-in pump wont have good rain shower feel if the pressure starts to drop when more owners move in.

Hey guys, I installed new Panasonic Water Heater with push start button.
After use, do I need to press the button to stop the heater and water supply before switching off the main switch?
If let say, not using the water heater, can I let the water heater in on position means switching off the main water valve instead of pressing the button then next use just turn off and on the main valve?
*
The heater and water flow works independently. If you off the main switch, it will be normal cold shower.

If you are the only one using the water heater, then you can set to any function. If is sharing, then it may be a problem when each user has their own habit.

Watet flow in heater function like your heart pumping blood. If the piping or filter is block, no any new heater will solve your problem ...aka 'heart attack'.

Your existing heater piping is from main supply or the reserve tank ?

do Panasonic DC motor Shower Heaters get weak with time?
i just changed the original small shower heads that came with my 2 Panasonic DH-3JP2 with a 3 way and 5 way Ikea shower heads and the sprays honestly feel kind of weak.
but i love the ikea shower heads.
*
The same water flow rate needs to distribute to a wider surface area, hence the weak pressure.

If you do not know a trusted independent installer for electrical appliances, always buy from shop that include installation. Should there be a problem during installation, you can get back to the shop.
