For those who have phobia using water heaters due to safety issue, can avoid water heaters. Just buy a medium-sized pail to store water. Whenever you want to take a warm shower, just boil some hot water using a kettle and pour the hot water into the pail of water. Just use a small bucket for scooping up the water from the pail to take a shower.

Some people can have this phobia of electrocuted by these water heaters as there are cases.

Solar heater is only practical to be installed at landed property, double storey homes or something similar. Not feasible for condominiums or apartments.

Individual RCD should be installed in wet area such as in the bathroom.  If too troublesome to install, buy instant water heater with built-in RCD or ELCB safety device.

for those with just a wall socket - i wonder if this helps

Dear Bros, 

I have just bought a Panasonic instant water heater DH-3 HT model and I am going to install
by this week. Just want to seek some advice whether the following cable is suitable for installation
from the 20A Junction Box.  The cable length from the junction box to the instant water
heater is about 2 feet. 

The PVC flexible 3 core cable is Keystone BS 2004  70/0.0076. 

Your input are very much appreciated.  Thank You.

Ozak bro, i am looking for water heater so i came through this thread.

After some survey some of the sales mention panasonic using mechanical type ELB.

However i did not found any RCB in the heater.

In this case,  is this Panasonic Heater safetier than those normal electronic type ELB like Alpha? (of course i will change every 5-6 years, what i means in technical way)

From the description, does it include RCD?

Hi i just install water heater today but during usage of heater, i heard my main mcb has buzzing sound. When turn off heater, the buzzing went off. Is it normal? Thanks

What type of water heater to buy if i want connect and supply hot water to bathtub?

You need something like this - http://www.joven-electric.com/product_main...p?category_id=1
At least the 38L tank
Maybe 50L would be better if you gonna use it to fill your tub

that link you gave doesnt say how many litre of water that tub can hold
anyway for joven storage heaters you can see at the same shop = http://www.ewarehouse.atkc.com.my/index.ph...joven%20storage
the prices between each capacity is not a big difference

this storage heater is normally install above your bathroom ceiling board. each bathroom one heater. for bathroom with only shower, a 25L tank is enough
you need to find out if your bathroom already have copper piping for hot water and also electrical point for the tank. Also find out how much ceiling space you have for the tank to fit up there

you said you are buying a new tub, are you replacing or adding it in?

I only turn on my heater just before I go in and shower and off it once I am done or after the next person is done. It always have left over hot water inside the tank so you dont really need to like wait 20 mins for water to heat up. Only the first time you use it, you need to wait.

not everyday we use bath tub lo....like myself, 10 years also never use once 

What happen if drain at night?  still need to switch on backup heater, and is even slower for solar backup heater to heat the water.  BTW, Solar heater will not get hot water as hot as Storage (maybe micro solar will)

Unless the owner bath tub in the morning

The pressure release valve should have prevented the explosion..

This is why this forum is so important to disseminate information to make homeowners aware of the risk of badly maintained equipment in their homes..

Functional aesthetics comes with a cost..

Most likely (guessing) the storage heater is some "chap palang" brand.  A good brand will have minimal 2 failsafe features inside.

And next is user need to practice switch off after use. This is passive safety.

another issue is normal those heater installed on top of the ceiling. How we able to check and view the indicator of the tank? 

This one is quite costly
