Added on December 1, 2011, 1:06 pmIf pump power is almost the same, sure can install third party one...

hard to say. If you install a rain shower size like 20" or more, you need higher pressure. Does the pump have enough power.

I tot Joven can, why the others can't......

yeah saw the joven one that he posted...

now i wan to see alpha one

boss, how much Alpha Smart 18i - rainshower w/o pump?

Can pm me the address? how about the warranty and free gift? still available?

TQ

The warranty is by Alpha Malaysia.

Call me or call Alpha Malaysia for logging a service report.

Smart series has a trolley luggage for free.

It is available in black or white option.

Just noticed many ppl mention about my video. Here is another new video shared by our good member who does not wan to b named. THe video was taken with his phone, so quality not very good but at least it is a good evidence to proof that Joven heater works on this Cabana Set with 8"+ diameter rain shower,

I70P + CABANA Rain shower PROMO PRICE RM 788

From my experience, Joven is not durable because my hometown just used it 1 year plus only and it was spoilt. And my colleague has such experience also

which model ? this one or the older one ? you refering to the old ac pump ?

need a comparison chart with alpha dc and joven dc

If want durable, just go for Panasonic..I never heard people around me complain about Panasonic Instant Water Heater...even my grandma house used until now still functioning well...

In my opinion Joven = Alpha, we gamble to buy them because of outlook design...depend on luck...

If one day, Panasonic releases a series of well-design instant water heater, joven, alpha and beebest will be sweating...

I got Alpha 18I inverter DC pump model for RM500, @ Subang's Asia Cafe plaza.

Are u sure with dc pump? So cheap

take picture.. u sure bo ?

I think it's possible. The model is without rain shower head, right?

no freaking idea

joven and pana price also more than that

yes I'm sure, and its' the model without the rain shower. I got 2 set of heater bought on the spot as well.

Anyone DIY install this item before ? My installer van broke down and can't do it anytime soon. I'm contemplating on doing it myself based on the instructions provided.

Comments ??

i also got one of this so far so good but i hope the noise can be reduced coz it is extremely noisy...

I haven't installed mine yet, but having this as a quite DC pump was one of the biggest reason that I got this.... but I guess it's not what I expected to be.

can youtube/record a video of the pump sound on and off

If you DIY person, it is not difficult. You need to have tool also.

I DIY myself. Easy job.

it come with free trolley bag? can PM me the shop address?

do you mean the alpha dc pump is noisy? shouldn't be, as DC pump is meant to be silent as this.

yes, my bad. mine 1 is not the latest one; the previous model which same similar design.
I think I will get this silent version to swap with my master room unit then move the old unit to family toilet

bought 1x 18i series but havent install yet. Why Alpha no E-warranty system? So outdate

Just bought 2 sets 18i rain shower from iamsobloodysick. Will contact u again after my house renovation for other home electronic device...

any one can indicate how much they pay for this wh? thanks alot

nobody willing to do a test ????

i did but lazy upload to youtube. the dc motor sound is like tamiya car/typical dc motor sound like the motor rpm "weeee weee weee". not sure about joven. dont have joven to compare

joven one was done i think by lyn user called leeyeung or something like that.. its in the joven thread...

one thing is sound of the dc motor the other is how powerful the pump is..

Havent install the WH yet..will post it after the renovation done...but i tink have to wait until May...@@

got no tools to check how is the flow rate GPH from the dc motor pumped. But im using original shower came with it. Its good enough for me. i use only 1 bar motor speed.

Get a baldi, 1500ml mineral water bottle and a stopwatch. Start the flow onto the baldi and start your stopwatch. End it in 1min and pour the water to the mineral bottle. (opposite if you 1 easy) Calculate how many need to feel up the bottle. And you get the measurment.

what is the motor speed? max? dont have stop watch too. wahahaha

Don't no lah. I only teach you how to measure the flow rate.

does anyone know what if the outlet is blocked (ie: water cannot flow from the outlet due to blockage at the pipes?).

is there an auto temp cutoff? would the pump still continue to pump?

heater should have a flow meter, cause its a protection thinggy..

flow < rated = heater off..

pump should be always pumping unless u stop/set it to off right ?

For joven one,pump can be manually turned off or when out of water in the pump,the heater will stop automatically

thanks guys! actually i was asking cause i might have made a error on my piping design

i put a control valve at the outlet all cemented up now and tiled

i cant use instant heater now with pump. :sad: scared the pump explode

/facepalm/

you cant change the piping externally ?

why cant use? mind to share the photo? like that Jin mention, cant do it externally?

Some video showing the pump feature and the noise level, I am standing just beside the water heater (about 10CM apart) to purposely record the noise level, noise level consider pretty low (lower than handheld vacuum)

This post has been edited by leeyung: Mar 7 2012, 11:36 AM

Thanks guys, i feel sad now. No pics, but this is my design. I worried:
1) Water sensor will keep getting hotter if faulty if both my outlet valve are closed
2) Water pump will continue trying to pump if both my outlet valve are closed


Now i have to at most only do instant heater with no pump. all the inside piping already completed and tiled over liao! 2 toilets like this style!

SIFU helpp!!!!

so the red and blue color pipes are concealed in the wall?

yeah....only the instant water heater is exposed. all piping is concealed...aihhhhh.


tried to do like this guy:



Toilet dude concealed piping

you switch on your water heater 24/7?

nope..only when in use. but not sure if pump blocked for 1min will also damage?

what is your heater model and brand?

havent bought yet....researching for good one now! was considering alpha...but without the pump?

oh mind..haiz. i dont know why you so worry now after you decided to conceal piping. wonder did you discuss with your contractor 1st?

btw new model heater pump come with 2 controller on the heater panel (1 is to control pump speed and 1 for temperature). it can be turn off and adjust speed include the heater temp so if you so scare it blow or damage it why not you turn it off on the control panel all the time and only switch it on during shower?

u shouldn't use control valve..

u should use a diverter.. either one not both , must always have 1 outlet that is flowing...

that is much safer...

+1. Valve shud only be put at the inlet pipe not the outlet pipe.
If you put valve at the outlet pipe then the water will still be going in the waterheater but cannot go anywhere.
This will definitely damage ur heater.

Should I go for heater with pump or w/o if my house facilitated with the centralize water pump?

sure la without pump.. then whats the use of the centralize pump

hahaha

the water heater pump is so small the boast it provides isn't good enough

just connect it with your main pump.. u will enjoice.. bathing

Thanks for the advise. I been told by the sale that need to get the heater with pump because the the piping of the heater. I doubt so since I have the centralized pump. Maybe he got higher commission for the heater with pump?

does i get the trolley luggage when i bought from u last time bro? or no stock?promo end?

Trolley bag ended by March.

owh..lil bit late.huhu btw will come back to bought sanus wall bracket n other electrical appliance from u again.thums up for trusted seller!

What is a lateret price of Alpha Smart 18i Inverter DC Pump with rainshower?

boss is it possible if i conceal the `big` shower for this alpha?

I'm also in dilemma in between to buy Alpha Smart 18i with rain shower or Joven with Cabana rain shower.Saw the youtube,seem like Joven pump is very noisy.No idea about the Alpha one.Any good samaritan willing to share us the video for us to compare?Is Alpha brand reliable?What is the price now?

The noise level for Joven i70P is below 40dB which is considered pretty low, I also eager to see the alpha 18i but yet up to today, no one sharing the videos etc too bad

18i dc motor

got no tool to measure noise level. dont ask me how many 'dB'

This post has been edited by KIntos: May 11 2012, 12:32 PM

Using centralize pump will increase water pressure to inlet of water heater, but wont't it be reduced/constricted by the heater?
As the instant heater can only heat a certain quantity of water for a time.

Regards

How much is Smart 18i DC Pump in the market? I saw 1 in Penang RM720.

This month June Alpha got promotions, RM 774 include the shower rain head + include installations and Rm 634 if dont want to buy the shower rain head

Just saw an ad in The Star today. Alpha 18i with rain shower head selling at 550. I suspect that it is a gimmick. After maybe 10 units sold out, the offer price will no longer be applicable. The cheapest that I got is 600 in puchong. The shop is just beside Hong Leng, on the same road as Tesco Puchong

I got the Alpha 18i around RM500 cash and carry from Kajang, Jalan Reko. Recommended!! Reasonable price.. look for iambloodysick forumer.

That is with the rain shower head or without?

without shower rain...as my bathroom ceiling really low

Pls pm to me the price of yr smart 18i with rainshower with pump, without rainshower with pump and without rainshower and pump. Might consider getting 3 units if price is right. Without installation please.

Been using it for a year and thanks god...it still running good....

can u PM me the shop address and name. appreciate.

cheers

18EP vs 18i which one better?

18EP - RM520
18i - RM550

Let say if i buy instant water heater with pump then install central pump too. Is it enough?

Hi, 18i without pump or withour Rain Shower? RM 550 where you get it, tqvm!

You can get from iamsobloodysick in forum here. More cheaper.

How about the new rubine pump with rainshower ? Is it strong flow?

18i RM550 very cheap jor. Where you get?
